Mozilla Labs announced a pretty cool new browser concept dubbed Aurora. It's pretty flashy and integrates some experimental UI concepts that are questionable. However, one of the fundamental, underlying principles of the browser is the concept of data portability. The idea that you own your data and can pipe, mix and match data from different websites was key to the browsing/collaboration experience. I caught myself thinking "You'd use RDFa/uF to do that... and that... and that" throughout each video. Here are the direct links to Vimeo WebHD content: Aurora - Part 1 - Collaboration, History, Data Objects, Basic Navigation http://www.vimeo.com/1450211 Aurora - Part 2 - Geo-location-based browsing http://www.vimeo.com/1476338 Aurora - Part 3 - Integrating Web w/ Physical Environment (also, sexism) http://www.vimeo.com/1481810 (non-WebHD) Aurora - Part 4 - Personal Data Portability (bonuses: copious diversity and "the liberal agenda") http://www.vimeo.com/1488633 -- manu -- Manu Sporny President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Bitmunk 3.0 Website Launches http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2008/07/03/bitmunk-3-website-launches
