Gush 1.1 RC 1 Available
2Entwine, a little Providence, RI-based technology company, just made release candidate 1 of version 1.1 of their Gush software available on their website. This release, among other things, adds Linux support, so as soon as I get home this evening, I’ll be giving it a try for the first time.
Gush is a free, professional grade, cross-platform, instant messenger and newsreader contained in an aesthetically pleasing environment.
Gush interests me because it seems like the first step towards a fully integrated, self-contained, all-in-one Internet communication application. Something that takes care of weblogs, text chat, email, photo galleries, voice chat, message boards, etc. in one neat package. Instead of having six or eight programs open to take care of all these similar but distinct tasks, why not have one powerful package to handle everything, and allow seamless integration from one to another?
Gush is exciting, and I think it’s the direction we should be heading.
