The Project : a Multitask Tool

PeopleBrowsr will gather information in two ways:

• Inside the user's garden, displaying information coming from the user's friends; friends' tweets, status updates and blog posts all together, in one place.
• Outside the user's garden, up-popping public feeds from random users.

We want it to become a window on the passing parade of everything happening on the Internet; public YouTube videos, Tumblr posts, Flickr photos and so on. It will be as if the user was sitting in a cafe and watching the world pass by.

It will also appear in two formats:

• On top of a network, as a new multifunction Twitter skin, for sorting, tagging, searching and posting tweets.
• Inside-network, as an application to see, manage, add and message old and new friends.

And it will be both multi IDs and cross-network:

• Multi IDs, through the 'MyIDs' page: a special view gathering all of one person's online presences into one browser tab.
• Cross-network: because we want to show the user all his friends in one place, no-matter what social network they come from.
