About
Parakey was a web-based computer user interface startup founded by former Mozilla Firefox contributors Blake Ross and Joe Hewitt, envisioned by Ross as "a Web operating system that can do everything an OS can do." The idea behind it was to make image, video, and writing transfer to the web easier, avoiding the need to upload photos to a separate service like Flickr or launch a blog just to publish. On July 20, 2007, Parakey was bought by Facebook for an undisclosed sum.
