Many of the proposed features and some of the mockups created by Mike Beltzner (see above) suggest a significant overlap in the two products. In fact, Coop even has an example screen shot of Flock on the wiki page describing the product, along with the description “The design will likely resemble [formerly of Flock] Chris Messina’s mockup for “People in the Browser”, with a horizontal bar containing avatars for a user’s friends, and icons overlaid on those avatars to indicate the presence of new content.” The Coop product will allow Firefox users to “subscribe” to friends in the browser, bringing those friends into a sidebar.
