Tech: Quicksilver now Open Source!

TUAW.com reports that Quicksilver is now open source. If you haven't tried Quicksilver before, I highly recommend trying it out. Quicksilver is basically does what Spotlight does, but better.

I primarily use Quicksilver to launch programs, but the extremely flexible plugin system and huge list of plugins provide tons of extra feature to Quicksilver. You assign a hotkey to Quicksilver, and after that it allows you to launch a multitude of tasks from just a few key strokes.

MacRumors has a nice guide to the intricacies of using Quicksilver.
