Mozilla Jumps On IoT Bandwagon

mikejuk writes: Mozilla has been clarifying some of its plans to convert the Firefox OS project into four IoT based projects. At a casual glance this seems like a naive move that is doomed to failure.
We have Project Link — a Siri/Cortana/Alexa clone, Project Sensor Web a distributed data gathering network, Project Smart Home and Project Vaani — an voice interface for IoT.
With Firefox losing market share and projects like Firefox OS, Thunderbird, Shumway and Persona closing down perhaps Mozilla should try and find its way back to core concerns. All four of the projects need significant AI expertise and a powerful cloud computing resource neither of which Mozilla is likely to be able to afford.
