Mozilla Labs Update

We've had some recent additions to the Mozilla Labs team, and I'd like to make some belated introductions.

To begin with, Firefox engineers Myk Melez and Dan Mills have joined Labs full-time, transitioning in as they complete their Firefox 3 responsibilities, to focus on user experience and personalization experiments.

Rhian Baker, from the Firefox marketing team, and coordinator of the Campus Reps program, has joined as a project manager.

Also, please join me in welcoming Jay Sullivan, who joined us full-time about 2 weeks ago. Jay will focus initially on mobile user experience and product strategy. He comes to us with over 20 years of experience in the software industry and with deep expertise in mobile software and personalization. Most recently he co-founded and served as VP of Products at PocketThis (now PhoneSpots), a mobile software and services company.

Suffice to say, we’re super excited to get things rolling, so stay tuned over the coming days and weeks as we roll out new programs, restructure the group, and build out a virtual lab where people can come together to create, experiment, and play with new ideas.

You’re writing an email to invite a friend to meet at a local San Francisco restaurant that neither of you has been to. You’d like to include a map. Today, this involves the disjointed tasks of message composition on a web-mail service, mapping the address on a map site, searching for reviews on the restaurant on a search engine, and finally copying all links into the message being composed. This familiar sequence is an awful lot of clicking, typing, searching, copying, and pasting in order to do a very simple task. And you haven’t even really sent a map or useful reviews—only links to them.
