Digsby Sweeps in Four of Five Best IM catagories for 2008 IM.About.com awards

This really isn’t a surprise to the Digsby community, that the new upstart’s program would dominate the “Best IM” poll conducted by About.com contributor Brian De Hoyos…That Digsby was beat out by the old timer Yahoo! Messanger 9.0 for “Best IM Experience,” has this user/writer astonished! (they must’ve broadcast a call for help to there millions of users…lucky for them 5590 responded. Wonder what percent of the user base THAT is! LOL)
PERSONALLY I’ve tried all the IM’s out there, at one time or another, and none of them kept my attention for more than a couple of weeks. Boring interfaces, unwanted ads and intrusions, etc., had me sticking to emailing as my online contact resource.
Then along came Digsby…and I was gladly dragged into the online world known as “social networking.” I can track multiple friends in multiple places, simply and seemlessly…and even Twitter to the world, all from one convenient UI.
Congratulations Digsby and the team at dotSyntax, LLC for this awesome program.

UStream.TV – How To…

I was looking for a way to send a message to all our friends on Ustream.TV at the same time… To remind them of our weekly Wednesday show… I wasn’t quite sure how to do it…

I had received a message from one of our friends on Ustream (Spikehead68)… I went to go reply back… and POOF… there it was… a list of all my friends on Ustream.TV…

In Ustream, I clicked on “Message Box”… then went to “Compose Mail”… highlighted all the friends on my list… composed my message… and was then able to send them all a message at the same time reminding them of the show on Wednesday night…

You learn something new everyday!!

Let me know if anybody needs help on this!!
