Can your browser help you follow and participate in online discussions? Snowl is an experiment that wants to answer this question by trying to tighten in a place FLOW separated from content to which many users are subscribed: news and posts on blogs by RSS, as well as social and personal communication networks (messenger) from services like Twitter.

Of course, they all rely on RSS flows. Full To put together these flows is their differentiated treatment, depending on the place from which they come, and add the capacities that allow the action on a certain element.

Currently, Snowl offers two ways to reunite blog flows and messages in a browser: RSS/Atom feeds and Twitter. The first is traditional Three -phase "list" (Waterfall type), targeted especially for the immediate reading of important messages, the second way being based on the concept publicized by David Winer, intended occasional browsing.

So far the possibilities are missing to share the information already read. Nanoblog options and social feed are limited. But Mozilla intends to offer, experimentally, support for Facebook and for other social sources.
