First off, this is my first ever blog posting, and my first ever review of open source software so bear with me. I hope that I can make this a good blog for you to read daily, and get your daily dose of open source software.
What is Makagiga you ask? What isn't it?
Makagiga is a To-Do manager; RSS feed reader, Notepad, Simple image viewer/editors, Widget maker, Internet search (Google, Yahoo, Wikkipedia, etc.), a Document importer/exporter, a Backup utility, a Custom file labeler, and so much more. Makagiga is not a necessary utility but it is something the daily PC user should really try. I enjoy it for the reasons of keeping all of my to-do lists in it, and reading my daily RSS feeds (Lifehacker, BusinessHackers, PC World, etc.)
Makagiga also comes with a Journal utility in it which allows you to keep a journal, or maybe even a blog; maybe I'm actually writing this blog in it right now? Well, no I'm trying Microsoft's new blogging feature in Word, but I could be blogging in Makagiga if I wanted to.
Intriguing? – When you base Makagiga on a scale of being intriguing or not, I would have to rate it a 9.5, as it has a lot of great utilities within it, and you really can customize a lot of different things when it comes to Makagiga which I find very intriguing. I would say that this software offers something that most don't at a very basic level. Maybe you can find some more high-end software when it comes to this kind of stuff, but that may also involve looking past open source, which what this blog is not about.
Reliable? – I would have to give the Makagiga a perfect 10 on reliability, as I have been using it for some time now, and it has not crashed my computer once, and it does not require to press some hidden save button on the File menu to save all of your journal entries, or your to-do list's, as it automatically saves them for you.
Typically this blog will consist of more than analyzing two different assets about a specific open source software download, but I am pressed for time, so overall the rating of Makagiga would be a 9.75 (the average of the two topics I wrote about). Normally it will consist of five different assets.
I will leave you with a screenshot of Makagiga:

PS – Makagiga also comes with a nifty built in Dilbert comic RSS feed.
