Everybody can now try Microsoft's wacky work-sharing app that's so crazy it might just take off

Last summer, Microsoft announced a new work-sharing app called GigJam - an idea for breaking work down into "molecules" and then sharing it.

Today, Microsoft is launching a free public preview beta of GigJam, so that anyone and everyone can install it on their Windows PCs, Macs, iPhones, and iPads and give it a whirl.

It was hard to understand GigJam before I saw it. But last September, I witnessed a demo of the app, and I have to say: GigJam is so crazy that it just might work.

Here's a quick look at GigJam and how it works.
