A method comprises obtaining text segments from information pushed to a computing device and displaying the text segments in a textpane on a display associated with the computing device. The method further comprises obtaining text segments from information pulled to the computing device and displaying them in the textpane as well. Still further, the method comprises responding to a user indication directed at a particular text segment displayed in the textpane, by launching an application or sending a message from a first application to a second application. By integrating both pushed and pulled information into the same textpane, screen real estate on the display of a computing device is conserved. A computer user is then able to monitor a large number of disparate information sources while they focus their work in a particular application.
