Dotsyntax is bezig met de ontwikkeling van Digsby, een multifunctioneel communicatieprogramma. Met dit programma kan via de netwerken van AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk, Jabber en Facebook Chat worden gechat. Daarnaast kan e-mail van Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL/AIM Mail en normale imap- en pop3-accounts in de gaten worden gehouden. Ten slotte kan het programma zien of er iets is gebeurd op de pagina's op de sociale netwerksites van Facebook, Twitter, Myspace en Linkedin. De bedoeling is dat er ook versies voor Linux en Mac OS X ontwikkeld worden, maar Digsby is voorlopig alleen voor Windows beschikbaar. Afgelopen woensdag is met buildnummer 61 een nieuwe publieke testversie uitgekomen en hieronder zijn de belangrijkste veranderingen voor je samengevat:
Notable changes include:
- Brand New Look: We released a sleek new default skin called “Windows 7″ (by @Derek Erdmann). If your skin is set to anything besides the default, this will not override your preference. If you prefer the old look, go to Preferences > Skins and choose the “QuickSilver” skin.
- MySpace Newsfeed: In Build 60, we switched the Infobox over to a full blown web browser (WebKit). We said that the change would make the Infobox much more versatile and this is the first example of that. We are introducing a completely redesigned MySpace newsfeed which now includes a full Activities Stream, status updates, and the ability to browse through photos.
- Global Status: A new Global Status dialog makes it easy to set your status across social networks and IM accounts. You can access it from the status dropdown on the buddy list or by double clicking any social network. The Global Status dialog also has spell checking built in and makes it easy to share links (via digs.by) and pictures (via pic.im).
- URL Shortener: We are launching a URL shortener just for Digsby users under the domain http://digs.by. In the future you will be able to access a history of links you shared and statistics about how many times they were clicked.
- OneRiot: We partnered with OneRiot to make it easy for you to search the real-time web. Just hit “Ctrl + F” on the buddy list to search.
