Mozilla Raindrop

Mozilla has announced the Raindrop project today, a new messaging platform built on top of Apache CouchDB:

A central principle behind Raindrop is that messaging should be personal -- we want Raindrop to be people-centric both in how we process messages, and in how we can help give people control over their personal data and experiences.

This is a huge deal for me and for CouchDB. I can't describe how proud I am of this.

That is indeed something to proud of. Congrats! I'll be following this one close.

Really pleased for you Damien! It's great to see how other people are now taking your dream and using it. I remember when you were talking about Couch as an idea and now look at it! Way to go!

Excellent news. With CouchDB being used by Ubuntu and Mozilla you have a full embrace of important players in the OpenSource community.

Interesting project. From the videos, this resembles google wave a little.

Pulling the sources from Mozilla mercurial to check it out now.

Thanks for the tip DK.

I can't wait until I see the final product. The phrase "Private massaging" seems to be something very promising. I wonder what will Raindrop look like.
