Hybrid Apps

Facebook integrates with NetVibes, and Windows Live Messenger has been ported to MacOS... cool first step. I like the fact that Messenger notifies me when I'm receiving a message, or a contact has joined the party online, but it's really the only program on my system that I allow to deliver popups. I would like to receive popups from Facebook and GMail as well—that might encourage me to do a better job of policing my inboxes and notifications. A unified API that supports all three applications might be too much to ask for.
