SKYPE / IRC

and a german translation were very nice!

I think google reader support will be nice.

Also having 1 address book, calender would be nice, so you don't have to add people from diffrent services like gmail or hotmail they get auto added based on 1 info provided of people you know and could be edited at anytime.

Skype & IRC support are most urgently needed, and more could be added in the future.. Now speed and size must be delt with first, not all the skins are needed... but i think including skins with download makes it attractive to noob users(75% of all users).

Your blog is interesting!

Keep up the good work!

You ignored the poll. People said: we need GG in this nice IM. That's community. Whoever they are.

Need QQ Protocol Support!

I really need Yahoo Japan. Yahoo Japan is the most popular web mail service in Japan, so I'd appreciate it if it's supported. Both IM and mail please!!!

Skype. WITHOUT skype running..unlinke Pidgin

There is a great interest in Xfire. Maybe you could extent to this one.

How about QQ? It is a chinese messenger. Almost everyone in China has it. Pidgin supports it. Maybe if you add it and more languages, you might get a lot more users. I'm not sure they will find Digsby though. I will tell my friends if you guys add it.

plllsss :)

IRC Support. Something creative would be nice but really the ability to add a server to an account would be super. Then add Channels under that server etc with different notification options etc.

That would make this the perfect im/chat client.

Very impressive that you guys take the time to listen to the users. Not too common in the tech world, even though very much needed. Congrats on selecting an EXCELLENT strategy!

I would really like to see RSS integration and then a calender service integration, like Google Calender or Outlook, etc. I think that a focus towards making it a more productive tool will win over many skeptics and also cement the Digsby name on the list of productivity tools that are still allowed by proxy servers the world over!

And pretty please... keep it ad free!

There are thousands of people with jobs who have to use Sametime...and therefore, Pigdin.

Work on Sametime first, let the kids worry about their silly Facebook IM later.

Second for Group Chat. I use IM a lot for work and not being able to do group chat is painful at times. Usually means I have to log out of that particular client in Digsby and launch something else.

IRC would be useful as it's widespread, but I don't use it much myself.

Please, please, please, before you bother with more protocols include OTR encryption support for AIM. Thanks!

Digsby rocks, but please add a toggle to turn off smooth scrolling.
Its the suck. Completely. No. Really.
I mean it.

The poll is now closed and are the final results!

You haven't heard of Gadu-Gadu either? We got hit by a Polish version of Digg to get people to vote on GG (it's apparently the most used IM client there).

We are currently asking what social network people want next:

Cheers from the Digsbies team!

How about group chat support. That's what I am really looking for in a IM client.

@Eric: "aren’t often used" sounds like code for "I don't use". Lots of people use IRC.

IRC gets my vote. I believe there's an open social networking architecture that a lot of sites use as well, which might be low-hanging fruit for adding a whole lot of bullet points.

Another option would be RSS feeds... we have lots of other readers, but a) it's not hard to implement, and b) sometimes you might want a new item showing up to appear in the context of an IM.

I just have two words to say "Digsby rocks" :D

support for the new facebook chat?!

How about adding Ebay Support, can watch my watch list, and bid, takes me to items, ect. Would be awesome! :)

@honest ape - we already support twitter. You can add it to your social accounts list. We will add pownce support in the future as well.

I think something that would really shoot Digsby into the stratosphere of IM clients would be support for Pownce and Twitter. If you could update those and receive updates via Digsby, I imagine you'd get many thousands of more users. Both have public APIs, so this shouldn't be too terribly complicated.

Just my two cents.

The app is looking great, and I'm following it to see where it goes from here.

Skype and yahoo japan!!

I would really like to see AIM Chat supported, so I can make the switch over completely to Digsby. I'm required to have an AIM Screen name for work and to have access to AIM Chat - right now I am using Trillian but I would much prefer to be able to ditch it forever :)

GET VIRB SOCIAL NETWORK ON THERE!!!!

virb.com
i NEED ITTTT!!!!

I love digsby, but stop with the protocols! Let's get Digsby running under 80 MB for once! Get auto update working in a decent manner. Add real features (Google Calendar integration, etc.). I see those as being higher priorities than IM's that aren't often used.

Something with audio/video chat please!!!!

How about support for paltalk? none of the other clients has that.

How about QQ? They have support for that in Pidgin, but it's pretty weak at best.

I voted for IRC all the way as well. I'm kind of torn between IRC and Skype, but I honestly don't think it is worth it to implement Skype until you have it reverse engineered and won't have to launch the actual Skype client everytime you want to use Skype in Digsby. That is just pointless to me. But I would definitely say that Skype is a much needed service as well....just really needs to be native though, without the official client altogether.

Thanks for listening so well to your fans!

Can't wait mainly for the memory optimizations and performance increases! I noticed that several of the "png" image files that are installed for the themes, etc. are not fully optimized. I ran several of them through a great PNG compression program that will optimized the file size and no quality is lost (just select those in the preferences), but some of the images were cut down to like 20% of their original size. The app that I used for this was PNGGauntlet (just google for it, free and awesome)!

I'd imagine IRC would be best at first because it'd be easier to implement. Skype could come further down the line.

I'd love to have Skype functionality built into Digsby because it'd be one less app to open and keep track of. I don't want to keep Skype open all the time, but I have my chat app open all the time anyways. That's why it'd make sense to me.

I think Skype still has enough of a stand-alone ability to make it worthwhile having as a separate application, however IRC is already supported by Trillian and it's the service that least requires its own stand-alone app.

IRC all the way.

IRC!
