Mozilla Weave Shares Bookmarks and More

December 26, 2007 | by Nick Mokey

Mozilla's latest project will make it easier to spread browser metadata from computer to computer, and share it with others.

Mozilla, creator of the popular open-source browser Firefox, is branching out in services offered with Weave, a program for sharing browser metadata across multiple platforms. An early prototype version of Weave was released on Friday.

The type of information Weave aims at sharing includes bookmarks, history, and other browser customizations. Developers hope to not only make it easy to standardize these items across multiple computers (giving users the same browsing experience on their desktops and a laptops, for instance) but also to create a way to share them with family and friends.

The recently release 0.1 version of Weave includes basic bookmark and history synchronization. More advanced features, such as metadata sharing, should find their way into Weave 0.2, which is expected in early 2008.
