Awasu Personal Edition 2.4.1 Alpha 2 / 2.4 Final

Just imagine. No more surfing the web looking for interesting stuff to read. Instead, Awasu will watch whats happening around the globe and let you know about events almost as soon as they happen. No more trawling through pages full of ads or pop-ups. Now you can get only the stuff you're interested in, delivered to your desktop.

You're not limited to just news services either. You can keep an eye on the current weather in New York, the latest sales data from your London office or which band is playing at your favorite club this weekend. You are limited only by your imagination!

And using its powerful plugin architecture, Awasu can easily be customized to monitor absolutely anything at all. Want to keep track of stock levels in your warehouses inventory database? Awasu comes with a sample Java program that lets you monitor a database. Got a web service that you want to query? Its easy to write a plugin that talks to it and feeds the results back into Awasu for convenient viewing.

Awasu also allows you to hook into the flow of information to perform your own custom actions. You can analyze the information as it arrives, send out emails or SMS messages, update databases, whatever you like! No longer are you restricted to using a passive tool like a web browser. Using Awasu, you can monitor information as it comes in, analyze it and then respond to it.
