Can't wait for Adium to add this...

Disquisition

The Digsby developers should be awarded the Nobel Awesomeness Prize.

It was good before... :P

oldredhat

didn't take them long, and works flawlessly. Digsby gets an 11 now :)

All that's stopping this being a perfect implementation at the moment's the option to organise your Facebook contacts into groups- and that's on the horizon, according to the Digsby changelog.

Fantastically fast rollout there- the Digsby team are doing a sterling job of fixing up the program at a decent rate. I'm quite impressed. =\

AirRaven

Digsby gets my vote simply for being the best third party client that emulates AIM features perfectly. And it just keeps getting better.

taybay

still waiting for the mac version of this program

Gonzie

YES! I love this program. I predict it gives Pidgen a run for its money in market share sometime in the not-so-distant future.

SenorDunda

I LOVE Digsby!!
It is the best and it just got better.

gpzbc

yeah this is pretty nice. and digsby just keeps getting better and better.

lilkeith7

Yeah. I logged on, got the update.

Program is slowly moving up the list of awesomeness!

(Like that have not been said before)

Nu Digi

amazing application, it just keeps getting better and better (and VERY quick development!)

@AirRaven: Yep, I submitted that as a bug report earlier, and they responded really quickly with this:

"We will add this feature in the next update. We got really excited that we finished it and pushed without it :)

You can, however, merge them with other buddies so if a facebook buddy has an AIM account you can drag one onto the other and move the merged contact into another group."

DONNYchiban

can you choose not to be visible to your entire facebook list though?

costanza007

I hope it gets added to Meebo soon, too.

I'm worried about Digsby... the whole pushing updates without a way to opt out doesn't sit right with me. I talked a computer-illiterate friend into switching to Digsby, but after a week or two of using it, it auto-updated and left her with a broken installation of it. Frustrated and not knowing what to do, she switched back to the god-awful AIM client.

wakeboarderal05

its cool but super annoying cuz it tells you whenever someone signs on and off of facebook

superbryant88

I still like Meebo more, and I hope that they add this. But I should seriously sheck out Digsby; it looks really nice. (or maybe Lifehacker's just tricking me)

Earth KING

Digsby is just incredible.

*LOVES*

detection

O@superbryant88: You can turn the "Buddy comes online" notification off. That's what I did because you're right, it does get a little ridiculous with the Facebook friends.

SenorDunda

this is pretty impressive that they are the first to come out with facebook implemented, they are really making the extra effort.

portezbie

We just need to lower the memory footprint and we'll be good.

Intelman

See you later Trillian!! Love Digsby.. Users need free, customizable, highly-developed software. Digsby does all this! Amazing!!!!

gerchi

Finally, a reason to switch.

jackquack

@Intelman: Amen.

Does anyone know how Digsby is doing this? As far as I know, Facebook hasn't released an API for chat. If Digsby is screen scraping, is the scraping being done locally or on their servers?

I'm a little concerned about privacy and security with Digsby. This ISN'T an open-source app, and eventually they will find a way to monetize their product.

By so far, I'm loving Digsby!

WebUser

when will pidgin get facebook chat integrated?

larryweiliu

I REALLY love Digsby.

ryanyo88

I haven't used an im client in months, but I was intrigued by this feature and downloaded Digsby.

All I can say is...wow. Things have really progressed. Now not only multiple im platforms, but also gtalk and social networking hookups. Customization options are bountiful, and the layout is sleek.

Only negative - Digsby eats up A LOT of memory. It hovers up around 100-130 mb for me. Is this normal for an im client nowadays?

mig_coconut

Yes, aside from the memory footprint, this thing kicks Trillian to the curb. Sorry T.

BenRad

@larryweiliu:

I just found this something called Sophie that is a facebook chat plugin for pidgin.

[sophie.zarb.org]

Haven't actually tried it yet.
