Manage Your Online Social Life From A Browser Sidebar
Tweet
First of all, if you're a MAC, this post is currently not for you... Gathera supports only Windows at the moment.
Gathera (experimental Firefox addon), organizes and integrates Web applications & services into the browser sidebar, and offers an easy user experience to you. You'll get a fast access to these social networks: Flickr, Facebook, Digg, Twitter (supports multiple accounts), Delicious, and Windows Live. As well as to email based services such as: Gmail, Yahoo! and AOL. You'll be able to seamlessly share, view and respond across all of those online services.
Additionally, you can search through your accounts all at once, or search through a specific source (Google, Wikipedia, Youtube, Twitter, etc).
Overall I thought it's a pretty nice sidebar to have, but it missed the notifications and real-time functionality. From the "My Place" area I can see the number of updates I missed, but when the streamline is open, the sidebar is static. You have to refresh it yourself to see new updates, which is somewhat useless if you want to keep an eye on friends activity while you're working.
Based on the information on their site, it looks like that previous version contained real-time notifications, but I couldn't find this function on the current version.

I use Firefox most of the time, but lately I've been using the Flock browser.
Almost Firefox and this feature comes with.
