I think it's how its tied together that will determine its success.
It's got to be v quick and simple to use - If you get a GUI support 
question one to start, run through sequence, one click click to add to 
mail, IM, ftp.
And it's got to be pretty.

They haven't totally ruled out a linux version but from their support team

"Hiya Eddie,

Agreed that there should be one.

We started with Windows and Mac because we have limited resources and those seemed the best place for us to begin.

Currently we have no plans to create Linux version....but hopefully some day soon we'd get the 'ok'  :) 

Keep an eye on http://blog.jingproject.com for more info."

Well maybe somebody will do it.
