Mozilla has released a prototype of a new application that aims to
consolidate all messages a user can receive over a computer into one reader
package.
Dubbed
Snowl,
the application intends to treat all messages as the same and let the user get
emails, RSS feeds, IM and Twitter messages and even aerts from social networking
sites in one reader.
“It doesn’t matter where messages originate,” said the organization in its
labs
blog.
“They’re alike, whether they come from traditional email servers, RSS/Atom
feeds, web discussion forums, social networks, or other sources.”
A prototype has already been released that picks up RSS/Atom feeds and
Twitter messages and has a choice of two interfaces for viewing them.
The group wants to add in more functions as time goes on and is asking users
for their feedback.
