Thunderbird med VoIP, Messenger og SMS!?

Mozilla messaging

David Ascher, der er øverste chef for E-mail programmet Thunderbird lancerede i dag Mozilla Messaging på sin blog:

Email is more important than ever, and yet it’s no longer the only game in town, or even the dominant one for younger generations or emerging economies. It is worthwhile considering what the right user experience could be for someone using multiple email addresses, multiple instant messaging systems, IRC, reading and writing on blogs, using VoIP, SMS, and the like. What parts of those interactions make sense to integrate, and where? I don’t believe that stuffing all of those communication models inside of one application is the right answer. But the walled gardens that we’re faced with today aren’t the right answer either. There is room for innovation and progress here, and we need to facilitate it.

Mozilla Messaging er Thunderbird i en ny indpakning, og forventes når programmet ligger klar i version 3. Mozilla siger selv at de ikke vil fokusere udelukkende på mail, men på kommunikation (Det lyder spændende synes jeg ):

Mozilla Messaging, Inc., to reflect both that this is a Mozilla company, and that we’re focusing on the Internet messaging and communications space as a whole, not just email.

Dette er også et direkte angreb på de eksisterende e-mail og kalender programmer som fx Outlook og Lotus notes, da Mozilla langt om længe har tænkt sig at integrere kalenderfunktion i version 3 af Thunderbird.

Det er en oplagt mulighed for at fortælle hvad man gerne ser i en fremtidig version af Thunderbird. Så smut forbi David Ascher blog og giv din mening til kende.
