Xoopit syncs Gmail with Facebook status updates: Neat, but useful?
Fri, Feb 13th, 2009
Here’s a new way to get social context about your friends while you’re busy with email. Xoopit, a company that makes a Firefox browser add-on for Gmail, now also lets you both update your Facebook status while in Gmail and see your friends’ status updates when you’re reading email from them. Sure, many people prefer other browsers and email programs. What’s interesting here is that Xoopit is using newly-available, two-way integration with Facebook status updates, through the social network’s web-wide identity service, Connect.
