another of my random tweets that will live on... but seriously, good write-up. i'm interested in this but haven't tried it yet. - MG Siegler

@MG I know you have a thing for seeing your tweets in screenshots - and this time, you even get to see it three times :) As for Snowl - my advice for now would be to stay far away from it... - Frederic

I have another concern about Mozilla's approach. I don't really see how it may be useful to have all the activities combined in a browser - it will not only make the browser too heavy to use, it will not solve the main problem for multi-taskers. Now I have to switch between apps for different types of activities and with this approach I will have to switch between tabs. Does it really change anything? - Svetlana Gladkova from FriendFeed MT Plugin

Though it may reduce my open tabs by 2, I still have lots of multiple tabs open and it really is difficult when Firefox seems trudging along like a man with a leg problem. Slow. Best. alain - Alain Benedict Yap from FriendFeed MT Plugin

That's my point, we are damaged by the nature of multi-tasking, not because we have too many tabs open in Firefox. - Svetlana Gladkova from twhirl

Right there with you. Uninstalled Snowl yesterday. Trying Feedy now. Anyway, performance in Firefox is just atrociuos these days. Using a tool to clear memory cache, but temporary manual fix. I love the Epiphany browser for performance, but none of my Firefox extensions work and its interface behavior(tabs) is strange. - Brad Nickel

Same here, FireFox can behave unpredictably in terms of memory consumption but many of us stick to it mainly because of the extensions. This is actually the reason why I have to stick to Outlook - I am a heavy user of Outlook and Plaxo toolbars and can't just get out of this MS product because of them. - Svetlana Gladkova from twhirl
