Gush is a free, professional grade, cross-platform, instant messenger and newsreader contained in an aesthetically pleasing environment. Some people say its drop dead gorgeous but we're a bit more modest.
Gush prides itself on being secure, full featured, and yet simple.
Gush's support for the PubSub service is very exciting especially for news junkies eager to find information lying around in RSS/Atom feeds. With support for PubSub built into Gush, search queries can be constructed and news items will come pouring in near-real time as PubSub discovers new items in RSS/Atom land.
