cyn.in releases v2.1 with microblogging, Adobe AIR Desktop

cyn.in introduces the first open source cross platform desktop collaboration tool for the enterprise. Access, search and collaborate on the information stored in cyn.in with real time discussions, desktop microblogging and live search.

The cyn.in desktop client (beta) is a dashboard to the web-based open source software tool cyn.in, developed by Cynapse. The desktop client creates an ambient awareness amongst users by providing a real time activity stream of updates from the site. An edit or comment on any content bubbles up the item’s info-tile to the top for all users who have access rights to it. Instant discussions provide an immersive instant messaging like experience, with the distinction of using the activity stream as your IM roster or buddy list. Users can start and participate in discussions on wikis, documents and use the microblogging feature to initiate conversations!

The slick interface of the cyn.in desktop, made on the latest Flex SDK v3.2 and Adobe AIR v1.5, brings together the responsiveness of the desktop and the connectivity offered by the web. cyn.in v2.1 introduces the first internal microblogging tool tightly integrated with the collaboration system. cyn.in is built of top of the most trusted open source frameworks Plone and Zope making it stable, reliable and flexible.

There’s a lot of new features under the hood like the Main Space – a central area to collaborate, all new application perspectives, an advanced recycle bin and rich UI. You can learn more about the release in our blog: http://blog.cynapse.com
