I feel like this is cheating…
But, I’ll go ahead and do so anyway.

@Jonah: It was at their suggestion. I think it is a new site so they are doing this as a way to build their visitor count so I can see why they want all participants to spread the word.

I voted for Digsby and I really hope you get the chance to meet with Ron Conway. Sounds like one heck of a chance to gain some insight and make a good impression!

As soon as there is a mac version out there I will consider voting it up. Tradevibes says Digsby is “multiplatform” but so far that’s just not true.

Done.
We are a new Digsby user. The consistent updates from your development team is appreciated and thus far Digsby is a very stable product. Keep up the great work.
Jimmy Said,

Fantastic product, definitely voted. Keep up the great work, I’m really looking forward to the new build (one thing that kills me is slow startup times when the computer is booting up, but I love Digsby so much it’s ok).
Patrick McClory Said,
August 14, 2008 @ 1:39 pm
I’ve been totally thrilled with Digsby thus far (day 3 and counting). The only thing that I’d love to see would be a skype plugin–otherwise it’s gold!

Teyen Said,
August 14, 2008 @ 10:50 pm
I have a question and I don’t know any other way to contact you so I hope you can see this!
I downloaded Digsby not too long ago but from the screenshots on this website, it seems like I’m missing a lot of stuff. I don’t have a lot of the skins and I can’t set my status right “on the screen”. There’s more too I think.
If you know how to solve all this, that’ll be great…Thanks!
Omi Azad Said,
August 15, 2008 @ 2:15 am
I could vote for it, but it needs a sign-up. That is a crap idea.
Steve Said,
August 15, 2008 @ 9:36 am
@Teyen: We will be releasing more skins in the future and documentation for others to make skins.

great, I’m all for voting, but one commenter said “15 meg RAM Max” I just checked right after the announcment, before I closed it, and the ram was 63 meg. then I closed it and down to 8… weird.
get linux running and i’d vote for it 10 times over (if that wasn’t cheating of course)

Voting for Digsby rules, the fact that i need to register and not even know if my vote was already done during the registration process SUCKS… I hate registrations for simple tasks..
As if i am ever gonna return to that website.. duh..
I´m a digsby-user.. NOT A COMPLETE NERD that has too much time on his hands (even though i realize i wrote too much here ;-))

i think its an unassailable product having many features and a wonderful getup,its fast too but only 2 drawbacks i hav discovered so far-one..adding contacts is a lenthy process,two-they should include rediffmail also.I think in dis new launch they must overcome d 1st drawback…………dats it

Great product.
but it uses a bit more RAM. it should be resolved.
moreover..the chat windows should be seperated. not tabbed.

@Teyen: Best way to get info is through the forums. Go to support and click support forums.
@Steve: Maybe the forums deserve its own link so people can be sure to find it?

i love digsby only i think its cool and slick.
only drawback is that when i log on to my msn or live IM account it does not show im online - even though i am.
I hope this gets fixed someday
more power to you guys!!!
Patricia Skinner Said,
August 16, 2008 @ 7:11 am
I love Digsby so this is not a problem at all for me. Thanks for letting us know. I do hope you let us know what you learn from Ron Conway–then we can benefit too.

Great product - my main complaint is GUI performance needs to be improved - and I think that’s already on your high priority list.
WadeO Said,
August 17, 2008 @ 8:31 am
This product is great I use this on my website ConsumerCowboy to converse with customers about issues that may be having with coupons or deals that are not working. Sometimes they use it to give me props…
Nice widget I had this installed in Joomla in less than 10 min from sign up to finsh.
Stephen Said,
August 17, 2008 @ 10:13 pm
If you guys actually released a linux client, I’d actually vote bullish. Not having a linux client would unfortunately force me to not pay for Digsby.

1. Still waiting for IRC support.
2. I also really wish there was a quick option in the right click menu on the Digsby tray icon to enable/disable sounds and notifications.
3. I would love to see a contacts list option to show only buddy icons like Trillian Astra is doing. It’s addictive and very efficient!

Congratulations on the victory, Digsby Team!
Just recieved an email about an hour ago announcing you as the winner of Fever Pitch 2008. I’m very excited for you all. As a devoted Digsby user, it will be very interesting to see what you all will learn from the meeting with Mr. Conway. I’m also glad I was able to cast my vote to support you guys in this amazing project.
Keep up the great work!
