According to Mozilla Labs site, Firefox developers have unveiled an experimental project called Snowl, which is designed to gather all our inbound communications, whether they are in the form of RSS RSS, email, Twitter, or social network updates. The interface will be search based, let us prioritize messages, and take advantage of the browser.

The prototype, which is a Firefox extension, is limited to two message source types: RSS and Twitter feeds. The prototype offers two views of the feeds: A three-panel email-style view with preview, and a “river of news” view, based on a concept popularized by RSS developer Dave Winer. This second view resembles a three-column continuous newspaper layout.

Recently, the Snowl team is still testing the waters and looking for feedback, as well as considering adding more features like message sources such as response mechanism, an instant messaging, and an API (Application Programming Interface) for developers.
