What is Pancake?

Pancake is a new Mozilla Labs project in which we're exploring the following questions:

How can we make it easier for people to quickly get to the content and information they care about?
Is there value in modeling and structuring web navigation in new ways -- rather than bookmarks, history, windows and tabs, what if navigation was organized by topic of interest, or things recommended by people of interest?
If navigation is modeled by topics and people, what would be possible in the area of intelligent recommendations?
What opportunities are created by touch interfaces to make using the web more productive, engaging and fun?
Can we use HTML5 to create a web navigation experience that works on all of the devices in our lives?

We've started to investigate and develop some of these ideas by building an iPad app backed by a web service. We call it Pancake.

-Pancake is a new Mozilla Labs project focused on exploring, evolving and expanding on how we search, browse, navigate, organize and discover all of the amazing things on the Web.  To do this we've initiated the first of an ongoing series of experiments that will help us better understand what people do on the Web, why and how they do those things, and how we can make those things easier and more efficient.

-These experiments will initially be expressed as an app -- a usable prototype that we'll share with the community and iterate on rapidly so everyone can take part by testing our ideas, giving us feedback, helping us with usability testing, and working with us to discover new avenues of experimentation and exploration.
