I just love this. Xoopit, a Firefox-plugin integrated with Facebook Connect has just brought social context into Email. Ever since I became a Facebook user I have been thinking about how cool it would be to bring the social graph into my Email. Email is still the main platform through which people communicate on the Internet and so surfacing social context into email - just made email so much more social,exciting and useful.
Xoopit has obviously integrated Facebook Connect and is plugging into Gmail through Firefox, BUT if you are an ISP or an web-mail provider - you can do this yourself without the need of a plugin or the support from Facebook. I'm really excited to see this innovative integration of Facebook Connect via a plugin into mail, but there is so much more an webmail provider can do by integrating Facebook Connect directly.
I would love to see Facebook Connect integrated into leading local webmail services around the globe and make email more social.
