Hands on: Xoopit adds Facebook data to Gmail
Sun, Feb 15th, 2009
Xoopit is a Firefox add-on that is known for breaking down the barriers between e-mail, the stuff in our e-mail, and our social networks. We covered it briefly in December 2008 as a Yahoo tool that allows users to see and forward all the photos and other files in their inboxes. Now, Xoopit is combining Facebook contact and status info with Gmail, so Ars took the add-on for a spin and spoke with Jonathan Katzman, co-founder and COO of the company.
Xoopit injects a few panels throughout Gmail, such as a media aggregation toolbar just above Google's Web Clips panel, a sidebar panel (that really isn't necessary), and a custom Google search panel for easily injecting links and maps into your messages.
