Mozilla Labs have unveiled Snowl, their experiment with messaging for Firefox.
It doesn't matter where messages originate. They're alike, whether they come from traditional email servers, RSS/Atom feeds, web discussion forums, social networks, or other sources
They have a working prototype at the minute that only supports RSS/Atom feeds and Twitter but they are planning on more universal support including popular platforms such as Facebook, AIM, and Google Talk. This Snowl prototype extension is also available from their site.
If one day this also incorporates emails then there may no longer be a need for Thunderbird or Outlook - everyone could just collect their POP3 emails in Snowl/Firefox!
