So, it is still decidedly beta (more accurately, alpha), but I wrote and just released http://gibber.it http://gibber.it, to allow users to send end-to-end encrypted messages through basically any place in a browser that you can enter text.
I wrote this because it seems to me that the lack of end to end encryption in services like gmail is a problem - it also seems to me that there is no reason to have this service tied to a particular website, or for it to be administrated by another service provider. Accordingly, all GibberIt does is provide the encryption and key exchange - use it on gmail, nytimes comment boards and reddit (all working well so far) - or wherever the hell else you want. It will soon (I hope...) be working on facebook too (their content-security-policy is very strict - rightly so - and I am making the extension compatible with these requirements).
* It currently functions as a chrome extension.
* Sign up, invite connections just like any other social network.
* Encryption is end to end, AES 128 with nonce'd salts.
* Use a password you share with your connection (NOT your login password) to send connection invites - this is used to encrypt your keys during the invite process. (Make sure to accept the return invite! This is how your connection sends his or her keys back to you. Also note that you will likely need to reload any tab running the extension after accepting an invite in order to get the keys to load.)
* Use the chrome extension to encrypt and decrypt messages as you browse.

Please note that the system is in BETA. Still many tweaks to work out. Use is at your own risk.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I welcome any and all feedback. Love the system? Hate the system? Please let me know.
