Interesting choice of horizontal scrolling, I like it. Great way to read Friendfeed -- paging there is lame.

A cursor based focus / selection tool would make panning the results and dealing with the imporverished typography much easeier!

I don't really understand what all the fuss is about. No messaging for now with only possibility to add it some time in the future. And the same multi-tasking, only you don't have to switch between apps, you switch between tabs.

I wouldn't mind aggregation inside my browser, "Hey, so and so just said such and such." But interaction? Mozilla is too unstable. I still have problems with FireFox 3 crashing and not inserting text into forms. I also browse with seven tabs open at once, will this add another tab to the list? I much prefer to alt-tab to other apps in order to do my messaging. I'm all for multi-network messaging: AIM/Y!/Gtalk/Twitter/Plurk/FriendFeed/etc, but adding more code to the browser does not sound like a productivity boost to me. It's going to turn into the "Communicator Suite," if we don't watch out! :-)

Interesting,

After talking to kevin from Yoono I was inspired to download and learn their new browser add-on. Its a little overwhelming and at times, counter productive to constantly re-evaluate new aggregator/messaging.

Of course I really dig http://www.yoono.com/ but I also love the work Mozilla does.

New media is turning into an arms race based on various features.

I think the competition is healthy but I will also be relieved when a market leader emerges.
