Me.dium is a Firefox, Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, Songbird, and Flock extension that allows users to socially browse the web and communicate with others in real time. The goal is to reveal the People Dimension of the web by showing you the movements of friends and others around you online. It connects Me.dium users with each other, based on their web surfing habits. [1]
