    This is great. I would have participated even without the prize money. This makes things more exciting.

    Congratulations to the Digsby team – Another good activity for the Digsby community to make it interesting.

    a small suggestion for an improvement to digsby

    code in some kind of detection for digsby already running, so it doesn’t run a second instance of digsby.

    This happens to me all the time, digsby takes so long to load on slower systems sometimes, that I think I didn’t click the button, so I click it again, and it brings up a second instance of digsby.

    this needs to be fixed, so digsby doesn’t run a second or third instance of itself.

    For branding sake, I would have just used the same color scheme/design/layout you have on your site. Unless you plan on changing all that as well, I’m confused why you’d want something different for Twitter.
