SocialBrowse is a new Firefox extension built by Zack Garbow and Dave Fowler, 2 participants in the last spring Y Combinator session. This xpi is pretty amazing. It’s an unobtrusive, intuitive, easy to use web app that sits on your sidebar in Firefox. You can submit pages that you find interesting using a little button at the top of your browser and further categorize your submission under a number of groupings. No page to go to, nothing. All smooth. Want to comment on a page using the SocialBrowse interface? A little dialog box comes up in the top right of your page. Message, comment, and submission notifications come up on your sidebar and in real time with no browser reloading. You can add someone as a friend to follow what they comment on and what they submit. You can comment on any page by using another little button adjacent to the first. When you submit any page, you will ever be in it’s SocialBrowse history and get credit for posting it, for there will be a little icon on the top of the page with your name and avatar on it with info on you that expands once your cursor hovers over it.

The importance of SocialBrowse is how it’ll revolutionize Social Media in the internet. Everything will be drastically different now with this new and very-easy-to-use tool. A simple click of the button is all you need. With more features to it than the StumbleUpon toolbar and more aesthetically pleasing as well as the simple and user-friendly interface everyone’s so used to with sites like Twitter, I think that SocialBrowse will come out as a hugely popular tool for rating pages and following up on what your friends are doing.
