Mozilla Launches Snowl Messaging Prototype 85
Jack Spine writes with the story that the Mozilla project "has launched 'Snowl' — an experimental messaging prototype that could allow people to collate and view messages from email, RSS, messaging, and social networks. From the article: 'Key ideas behind the project, called 'Snowl', are to enable users to prioritise messages by importance, and have a search-based interface for message retrieval, according to Mozilla developer Myk Melez. "Could the web browser help you follow and participate in online discussions?" wrote Melez in a blog post on Wednesday. "Snowl is an experiment to answer that question." Another of the key ideas of the project is that browser functionality for navigating web content, including tabs, bookmarks, and history, be used to navigate messages.'"

Not sure about the social networking aspect of it, but from what I see on the Mozilla Labs page [mozilla.com] it's the RSS reader I've been looking for for a while now...
Why no link to the project page itself? (Score:5, Informative)
Instead, you are given a link to a zdnet news story, which links to a blog, which contains the relevant link at the very bottom of the page.
At the very least, the zdnet news story was completely irrelevant.

Would be neat if you could write a regex-based plugin to parse the text-formats.
egrep? :)
