Bubble Stacks - Mozilla Labs Home Tab Design Challenge

Bubble Stacks are an imaginative look into behavioral analysis. Using browsing habit data alone this concept improves the experience of memory access and recall by organizing concepts into logical packages of websites we call Stacks.

A window into your past experiences has the potential to open a world of thought and possibilities. Today, browser history provides no more imagination than a breadcrumb trail sequencing your online experiences. Usefulness extends little further than your memory can reach. Bubbles and Stacks open a window to your mind, providing the ability to extend your memory and organize your online experiences.

The general premise is good and quite clever but how would Firefox know to lump stuff together? Can Firefox be an expert in millions of fields and know what topics to organise with each other. With mainstream topics - probably, but for more specialist things, how would it know? How would this topic organised system be created?

Bubblestacks remidns me of Google Image Swirl. If there was a way to connect them, that would be awesome. See that Mozilla? We want that! No, we NEED that!

Awsome!

Not the easiest idea to implement, but at least it is something different than the majority.

I liked the way that idea adapt to our current behavior, and not the other way around, making Firefox more web 3.0.

The best part of this concept is that addresses two distinct uses of web browsing, which is research/roaming and simply management/lifestyle. The bubbles are more relevant to the former case, and the stacks are better for the latter. Great concept.

This is the best contribution I've seen so far (and I've looked through quite many). Having this functionality would be really useful to me.

Great idea! Really hope something of it gets through to the final Firefox 4 release.
