Mozilla Labs has unveiled a new project,
Raindrop, that it characterizes as an open experiment in messaging on the web. From the messaging team behind Mozilla's Thunderbird email project,
Raindrop uses a mini web server to sift conversations from various sources such as mail, Twitter and RSS feeds, then attempts to pull out the important parts and have them rise to the top. It works with Firefox, Safari or Chrome, and though it's still in its infancy, the open source project looks promising and bears some very rough resemblance to what Google is trying to do with Google Wave.
