Al sez, "The Mozilla Foundation, which is the parent entity to the Mozilla Corporation, the maker of Firefox, is forming a new corporation to 'improve e-mail and internet communication', according to Mitchell Baker."
The goals for the new company are:

* Take care of Thunderbird users
* Move Thunderbird forward to provide better, deeper email solutions
* Create a better user experience for a range of Internet communications -- how does / should email work with IM, RSS, VoIP, SMS, site-specific email, etc?
* Spark the types of community involvement and innovation that we've seen around web "browsing" and Firefox.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
