Return of the bloat, The Coop?
The Firefox web browser project (AKA Phoenix, Firebird [or whatever it used to be called]) has spent the last few years tearing out all of the bloat the Mozilla browser had built up. Things like a full email client, chat program, and a HTML composer.
After all that work, they're going to build in social networking features???
I hope I missed the fact that this is a plugin or an April fool's joke.
What a horrid lack of direction for the project.

it is an addon, not core functionality.

"The Coop is a Firefox addon in development that will let users keep track of what their friends are doing online, and share new and interesting content with one or more of those friends. It will integrate with popular web services, using their existing data feeds as a transport mechanism."
Seems to be following the current trend. Everything is becoming ever more bloated: our cars, our operating systems, hell, even our framework designers. How disturbing.
