Something I'd do once I'd figure how to do applets\plugins\etc:

I'd love to see a general social network/pop-up plugin.  But I don't
want to use it to browse these social networks.  I want it to simply do
pop-ups as and when things occur.  These pop-ups should pop over the
current activity which may be the off screenssaver, now playing screen
or whatever.

I feel that this alert much better fits with the idea of a touch or
sb3.  It happens to be a convenient screen near where I'm sitting or
listening to music which can be used to remind me of interesting things
etc.  If I want to browse these things I go to a PC with a nice big
screen.

E.g. I might be listening to music on the touch, and it will pop up
with tweets of my friends every now and then, and also facebook news
feed items.  This should pop up photos etc on the touch but only text
items on the old players.

The screensaver model doesn't really work here.  I only want to see
these things when there is something new.


It could also pop-up calendar reminders from on line calendars, emails,
etc.

And also RSS.

Each service added to the plugin should have settings which allow one
to decide for that service: 
- when to pop-up (only when player is off, only when player is on
etc.)
- how long
- audible notification (at least on touch)
- repeat older ones
- minimum time between alerts
