steven36 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Digsby Build 32More Info:http://blog.digsby.com/Communicating with coworkers, social networks, and friends across the Web is getting more complicated by the week. Some friends use e-mail, your garage band members stick to Yahoo! Messenger, and you probably spend half your day keeping an eye out for your boss while you swap between an Excel spreadsheet and Facebook to stay in touch with your Web 2.0 acquaintances. Right now, keeping pace with all these groups requires some serious multitasking skills, but the developers at dotSyntax believe things can be easier. With a new cross-platform product called digsby poised as a universal communicator between IM, e-mail, and social networks.Upon first run, it's clear that dotSyntax's developers chose to use the typical instant messaging UI as the basis for digsby. The application primarily looks and works like a chat client, and there are both pros and cons to this approach that we'll explore in a minute. Adding accounts to digsby is simple, and there are three separate categories for IM, e-mail, and social networks to help maintain a distinction and keep things organized. Contacts, of course, are listed in digsby's main window, each with links to IM, e-mail, and SMS. E-mail and social network accounts have the options of displaying new message and event summaries either in the contact list, in the system tray, or both.As is par for the instant messaging and communicator courses these days, digsby provides a fair amount of customization. Users can choose between a number of overall application skins and chat styles that suit their tastes and needs. Fortunately, even the layout of digsby's main window can be reorganized as well, presenting users with the option of placing social networks above IM contacts, or e-mail accounts at the very bottom of the window. Simply head over to the digsby.com account registration page create an account, and download a copy to get started.https://accounts.digsby.com/register.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SacredCultivator Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I LOVE this program, and it has great potential.. Started in March of this year, and just finished their big release that fixed their RAM Usage, and looking forward to the new features they plan to add in.And yeah in regards to skinning, still quite limited at the moment, but that's fine.I only use it for MSN/AIM/Yahoo though, none of that email/network stuff.
