Digsby Demo Video!

One of the great things about being in an incubator is that we get to work right next door to amazing start-ups.  One of those start-ups happens to be Dumbwaiter Design, a passionate design firm with some serious talent.  They’ve made an incredible 90-second demo video for our homepage that shows off everything Digsby has to offer!

Telling your friends about Digsby is now even easier – you can just show them!  If you like the video, give it a 5-star rating and take a few moments to share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

digsby_demo2

Speaking of demos…. We will be at the DEMOfall 2009 on Tuesday unveiling a brand new Twitter implementation in Digsby that is unlike any other Twitter client you’ve seen.  If you happen to be attending DEMO, stop by station #48 and say hello.  You can also watch the entire conference live tomorrow at http://www.demo.com.

We want extend a big thank you to Dumbwaiter Design for the hard work they put into this video.  We highly recommend you check them out!

  • Great video! I love Digsby. I use it every single day. It has saved me tons of time not having to log in to each different social networking account. Plus, Digsby simplifies my life with all my IM programs and logs being in one convenient place.

    You guys are awesome!
  • INC Dog Robber
    It's fascinating.
  • In our business we all use Digsby. Great video! I even learned a few things it did that I wasn't aware of...nice.

    If I weren't a digsby fan before than I would be NOW!

    Great work Digsby-Team. Go on!
  • I know most you reading my blog and the millions of others just like this one know what Social Media is and the impact that it’s had on the online world. But, have you ever wondered just how much of an impact its had on the way people conduct business and themselves?
  • Nice job. I have bookmarked this blog . Thanks for the share.
  • John Dykes
    Good work! Come on! You will always have my support.
  • Mike
    Digsby rocks.

    And can someone identify the font used in Win7 in the video? I like the lowercase "g" and "l" but cant seem to nail down the exact font.
  • digsby's cool...

    I've been using it for about 5-6 months. I never wanna use any other messenger apps anymore.

    i use digsby all the time and love it. its a great to have everything in one. i recommend this to everyone.
  • m0deth
    I dig the video, but agree, much like all vids from design/marketing houses nowadays, the creativity of the staff needs to be reigned in abit. Some of the actions portrayed mislead the consumer in various ways, and will do nothing but attract them, then leave them posting here about all those missing nifty features. I work production design myself and could tell right off not only their talent, but also their market inexperience. Unless you guys really like angry posts/phone calls that is. haha

    Also, I noticed above that group chat is being worked on along with Skype integration....PLEASE get the cross IM platform chat working first. I don't need my IM app to make phone calls as much as I need to gather many together for a quicky meeting on their respective IM's. If I wanted that, I'd use Gizmo.

    Cross platform chat is now the ONLY reason my wife uses Trillian for work, then switches to Digsby for all other IM. Digsby obviously handles resource usage better than Trillian 4, but lacks that one seriously needed feature. Anyone who works online for a living can attest to this. Blocking the gratuitous MSN spam IM's would be another sweet feature too(only allow IM's from contacts option per protocol would be nice there).

    All in all though, nice video, kudos to Dumbwaiter for fine work, it's just a little too far over the top in a couple areas, which I recognize were done for impact, however, impact should never mislead the consumer.
  • ukcreation
    It's nice to see a team that so obviously loves their product.

    Saying that, I'd rather you didn't make this sort of message pop up as a big fat announcement in the centre of my computer.

    Fair enough with messages about updates and down-time, but this one feels just a little too much like advertising.
  • I want the new GUI color scheme from the video and also the ability to create custom themes.
  • Lynn
    Liked the video.. I think it was cute.
    I'd still like to be able to customize my sounds.. specially for incoming im and chat. I am currently switching back and forth between Digsby and another multi-messaging program as I need sounds I can hear when I'm not right at my computer. If you had customizable sounds I could go 100% Digsby.
    I'd also like to see an interface for Tagged, but that's minor...
  • Awesome! Everything in one!
  • German
    I liked the Video but the slogan is not so great, "what if" that's the oldest phrase used to promote something new... use something like "AllOnline Inclusive"
  • Selene
    I love my Digsby!!!
    But I would like an additional to do list function with alarm to it! That will be totally the best thing for me!
  • gowani
    very cool video! great jobs guys.
  • Choopastik
    it's great
    But i like some more options for IM, autorising for example
  • sak
    i like it
  • Linux
    really cool i am a old user and i never see any program like that, amazing digsby!!
  • daevski
    I'm using Digsby in windows, but would really like it in Linux as well!!

    Awesome video. Keep up the good work!
  • Barry
    great promo--where can I buy stock?
  • Way to go. Fantastic video. We're loving Digsby. It works fantastically. (Is that a word?)
  • alan200994
    When to get my digsby on Ubuntu, I really want to be one of your fans when i am Ubuntu.
  • Nice job. Hope it helps you guys. I have used Digsby for about a year and can't live without it!
  • zen
    good video! i like!

    but would be good if there weren't so much advertising in the software itself. would see digsby competing with the big IM softwares if not for the advertising in the software itself

    howtogeek mentioned it well in it's post on lifehacker
  • Very nice video. Good highlights.
  • Lautaro
    I like a lot!!!
    Thanks for provide this software free for us!
  • Roberto Medeiros
    Nice video!
    You have to make it in portuguese!
    Untill now no problems with digsby!!!
    Very good multiprotocol!

    Cheers from Brazil!
  • Crazythom
    Hey Cool Vid.
    For the german isers it would be cool if you could integrate sites like wer-kennt-wen.de or schuelervz
  • Alex
    Awesome video guys. Keep up the good work!

    Love all the great things coming from digsby!
  • As a Motion Designer, I find that piece very weak.

    A. Drop the Bevels/whiteglow. Show the text and logo without that stuff. It looks like filters put on by 16 year olds. Sorry to be frank, but that is just a no go.

    B. The soundtrack is cheesy, and obviously lifted from some royalty free database. This can sometimes be okay, but you are supposed to watch out for the cliches. Do not choose the song "uptempo rock - sounds like coldplay" - that'll usually always be a bummer.

    C. The way the text is shown is not strong neither.

    There is no good reason not to show the punchlines, during the onscreen showoff. Right now you have a punchline, then you show how.

    Like "What if you could check your inbox without going to your inbox", then its shown how AFTERWARDS. That's not economical and a waste of the viewers time. Or at least it feels that way.

    - Dont do the reflections in the floor. It's so two years ago + this is not done in a quality like fashion neither. This is not how things reflect. The illusion is not sold convincingly, not even as an effect. Instead do a shadow on the floor maybe, or get them to at least fade out the upperpart of the word to give an illusion of distance. Something.

    Sorry guys, but I really think if you got this sorted it could be pretty good. Tighten it up, it 1.30 long, thats way too long for whats being presented.
  • Really nice video, I love the fact it's rendered rather than normal screen capture. It's as if it's filmed from your eye's perspective. Nice!
  • Nice video, it tells it all, but i will like some additions like addind Flixster and some other new social networking sites. Also will appreciate it buzz and emoticons can also be added.
  • Dhevein
    Its a very nice and simple video. It delivers the message. Thats why this app is so AWESOME!
  • David
    Nice video, simple and clear. And of course great tool!
    By the way still waiting it appears for macos ...
  • mojojojo
    luvz eet
  • murdok
    Great video.It makes me want to switch back to windows. Please come trough with the linux version. Demo's of it will roam the internet showing awesome KDE/Gnome desktops and Compiz effects.
  • I needed an instant messenger program after getting a request to upgrade MSN Live Messenger to 8.1. When I did that, the program did not work, because my dad created the account for me years ago.

    So, when I uninstalled the 8.1 version, Microsoft still would not allow me to run the previous version that worked perfectly fine before (all I did new was log out)!! :)

    So, I started searching for a new innovative instant messenger software. Digsby is the one and only!! :)

    So, stop asking the "what ifs . . .," and start using Digsby's Live Messenger service.
  • I was very happy , to tell thanks for DIGSBY, Because, while working, I can easily come to known, the mails arrivals to my accounts.
  • very good. clear messages
  • Choche
    Brilliant! for all these reasons I'm propoting DISGBY... god Job folks!
  • Dylan
    Very nice!
  • alberto
    is excelent but u have to make in spanish
  • bengos29
    yes, is good.
  • Garfield
    Looks great. Great work, good looking video/demo.
  • nurdin ambiversion
    i love Digsby since the 1st day i discover from download.com
    superb vid, nice music, maybe try keep it under a minute?
  • Great work, great destgn, great all in one client that saves me ALOT of time wasted in general logging in and out of email & social networks. They've made a clip to fit "simply the best/ better than all the rest/ better than anyone/ anyone i've ever met". Cheers!
  • it's a great massanger for us
  • Jean
    Nice video!
  • Sam
    Doh! looks like the new version of digsby does prompt about the research. My bad..
    Keep up the good work!
  • Warwagon
    I agree with everyone else. Great video other than the misleading animations. Which should be possible using the Windows presentation foundation. Have it only be a feature which is unlocked in vista / windows 7.
  • Will
    Hi, cool video. Where i can get the spanish dictionary for Digsby?
  • Sinuhé
    hi! I from Mexico city so cool i can`t wait to install in windows 7 but, what`s up with mac?
  • JezTi
    It's cool video specially the back sound!
    I've told my friend to use digsby and they excited too.
    But, why updating digsby take so long time?
  • Ebert
    I dont really have tha version of Digsby shown on the video... is there any site to download THAT version...

    maybe thats the reason why..

    Regards,
    from ARG .
  • Chris
    I noticed it used a Windows 7 skin by default - definitely the nicest skin available but I had to scratch around a lot to find & install it a couple months ago. Dos it come pre-installed now? If so, great! (the skins method leaves a bit to be desired, but all around fantastic app).
  • Ebert
    hey hello there, im kind of a new user, I´ve been using Digsby for 4 months already and I was never able o share a file or do webcam chat with this program along with another MSN user... So im kind of thinking..wtf... can somebody tellme why? what I should do?,

    EX, an MSN user is iviting me to a video chat conference, and i never receive the invitation... same thing with files.

    REgards, from ARG BS AS.
  • Sumit
    Please do fix the audio and video issues.. I have to use other messengers just for this reason!! And also allow us to delete the chat history directly from the messenger rather than going through the folder..
  • Sumit
    Great job digsby.. I have been using you a few months now and i enjoy using it.. I have been asking my friends to use it as well and they kinda forgotten other messengers now,, Hats off to u!! Great awesome job!! Keep rocking .. Cheers!!
  • mtms9984
    i love digsby
  • Sam
    Good stuff, but please, no desktop popups. Also, warn users about the 'research' option, and give them the option to uncheck it during install. I won't be recommending digsby to my friends until that happens.
  • XxDaMatt
    When is Digsby going to have support for MySpace IM?
  • After PIDGIN started crashing and becoming VERY annoying (even after a few uninstall/reinstalls, which NO program should require its user to do), I gave up. Trillian had become bloated and a resource hog. I dug around online and found a couple of clients. Digsby, by far, exceeded them all. It's a BIG tough on the resources when just an IM window is opening. Takes a few moments too long actually. I don't have a crap computer, but just to get an IM window open initially could be streamlined a bit. (Same with you try to open up the buddy list.)

    I'd like to see some more sound options, and a few less resource hogging lines o' code.
  • Greg Laabs
    PLEASE give us a way to "unsubscribe" from the announcements from your blog. It's really annoying getting these popup windows for every little thing on your blog. We can already subscribe to your blog via our RSS readers if we want to stay up to date.
  • Great program I ever had. I've promote digsby to all my friends. The demo is very cool... 2 thumbs up!!
  • Jazzer
    I liked the video...have sent it to many I know and have also posted it to facebook so others too could ck out the demo...

    I did noticed that it didn't show 'all' that Digsby has to offer...but it did as the video was rather fast.
  • Pedro
    It is an excellent program all in one. But where I get a spanish translation?
  • Very cool!! Great job! Tells it like it is and how it can save time!! 2 thumbs up!!
  • deyvsh
    Fantastic stuff... what's the music though? I want it!
  • batic
    i love digsby....
  • dblue
    The demo is great but i'm still concerned about the "Help digsby conduct research".. that thing needs to be gone. pidgin is a great alternative but i really like digsby. i'll be sad to leave if i have to
  • Mengeš
    great
  • bonniejean
    awesome,I LOVE digsby!!!
  • mahsa
    i also think it would be a great idea if we could customize the email alerts
  • All in one helper
    Great Video. Looks great and this program is awesome
  • Jason Stringer
    Wopuld be great if Digsby could have voice and webcam as well.
  • luka
    Wow!! That's an amazing video! Congratulations.
  • Heiko
    Sehr schönes Video!
    Viel Erfolg für die Zukunft!
    Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland ;)
  • Warboy
    Great Video. Very good ad. I wish you could do window effects like that tho lol.

    Also, it would be nice to have a "Theme'ing" tool for digsby. So it makes it easier to do themes for digsby.
  • Kinetix
    Great video...now how about implementing those animations and eye-candy effects into the real Digsby? :P
  • John
    Great work....keep it up!!
  • Paul
    When is Digsby going to support being able to have animated gifs as buddy icons? My friend told me he loves Digsby but won't use it because of this.
  • Oliver
    Great video, Guys, I've just shared it on my Facebook profile.
  • Steven
    The video is great! I personally would have put more emphasis on the different chat protocols supported, how they integrate into Digsby, how the conversations are tabbed, support cross-client video chat, etc., but maybe most users are more email- or social network-geared. But now I don't have to explain it to friends!
  • KuraiTengu
    nice! like it!
  • Great video, added the embed to my list of Ecard users to give it more of a presence. Thanks for the great app.

  • DalsR
    id like to be able to hide the emails and social accounts just like i am able to hide the messenger clients. i have a lot of social accounts enough to take over the whole interface of digsby it would also be able to scroll thru the account too. thank you :D

    great app love u digsby
