Twitter-FF-twhirl work pretty sweetly as a trio for me these days. Whether that will be true for me as well as a massive audience down the road will be fascinating to check out.

Right now, FF is leading the way but Twhirl seems intent on keeping up. The more competitive the spaces becomes, the more features they'll keep on adding to attract users. Before you know, they'll be full blown portals! Eric,

I see twhirl as more of a third party app that allows twitter and friendfeed alerts to get sent and sorted to the desktop.

Ginger is awful. Painfully unstable. Marking the same things as read 20+ times a day goes beyond frustrating. I’ve gone from a huge Netvibes fan to on the verge of switching to iGoogle.
