Mozilla Introduces A Firefox Extension Called ‘F1’

Mozilla's Messaging group launched F1 on Thursday. F1 is a Firefox extension focuses on the sharing of web links or other content on social networks with more comfort. These various buttons can be visually distressing for users who surf frequently. It also puzzles the users seeing a row of different "share this" buttons on an unlimited number of websites, e.g. facebook, twitter and stumbleupon.
F1 allows users to have a particular frame, which operates like an ‘all-in-one’ share button next to any content. After the user has connected his accounts, just one click at the tiny F1 icon will share the opened page to all his friends on any community be it Facebook, Twitter or Gmail.

While F1 continues being an expanded project in Mozilla Labs, the Mozilla designer, Bryan Clark wrote on the company blog: "[Eventually], the system should know which sharing service you use, and offer to use those! That will require sharing services to advertise to the browser that they offer a sharing API and the browser to see which services you use.” Most significantly he said that any publisher can experiment with this feature and the much interested individuals may refer to wikiepedia for details of the F1.
