Drag Till You Drop

Gush now allows you to easily share contacts, newsfeeds, and links! Just drag and drop, and you're done. Just read something interesting in your favorite blog? Drag the article link over a contact in the buddy list, a message window or even share it with a whole group by dragging a link to a group in your buddy list. Better yet, share the blogs you read by dragging them to a message window. Since gush now supports the xmpp: and feed: URI schemes it's even easier to share.

Use drag and drop to get organized. You are no longer confined to alphabetical ordering. Easily re-arrange your buddy list or newsfeeds in whatever order suites you best.
