Mozilla has released a software project that should help manage the messages that come from various sources, such as personal emails, Twitter or Facebook.

Called Raindrop, the program will no longer be a n e-mail client, according to the designer Bryan Clark. Mozilla describes the product as a “mini web server” that collects conversations and messages from a variety of sources.

The purpose of Raindrop is to allow people to have a clearer visualization of the messages they are receiving, and not let the personal to be hidden inside a mailbox full of messages from Twitter and Facebook, for example. You can also control notices to YouTube, blogs and RSS feeds. Messages lists of e-mail are also listed separately from the personal messages, and emails from other services such as Amazon or eBay. Users can decide where they want certain types of files appear.

“The intelligence of Raindrop is in separating personal messages from the other,” said Clark. Direct messages and replies on Twitter, for example, are more like e-mail notifications other than the microblog. The Raindrop will separate them from other direct messages alerts.
