Digsby Passes 1 Million Users; 3 Million IM and Social Media Accounts
July 23rd, 2009 by Ben Parr1 Comment
The social IM client DigsbyDigsby can not only connect you to your AIM and your GtalkGtalk accounts, but log you onto GmailGmail, FacebookFacebook and Twittier, too. A recent release fixed its RAM-eating problem , and now it seems that all of that hard work (and RAM-fixing) is paying off.
The company announced this afternoon that it reached a major milestone: 1,000,000 users. Considering that Digsby only launched 18 months ago, that’s an average growth rate of over 50,000 users per month – not too shabby for an IM startup.Digsby also revealed that while there are just over a million users, there are actually over 3 million IM, email, and social media accounts in the system – meaning an average of 3 accounts per user. While that number still doesn’t compare to Facebook’s 1 billion chat messages per day or Fbchat’s preinstalled 250 million users, it’s still an impressive count.
Then again, they support Facebook Chat, so FbChat’s growth is probably only a good thing for Digsby.

Top 15 Social Networking Website You Need to Know
Sunday 12 July 2009 @ 4:46 pm
The following list is a very subjective view of the most important social networking websites. These aren’t necessarily the most popular websites for social networking or the oldest websites for social networking, but they are 15 of the most important websites, particularly for people running self improvement, business- or health-related sites.
1) Facebook.com: Was initially intended for college students — it branched out, and now allows everyone membership. 150 million members.
2) MySpace.com: 191 million members. This site is massive, boasting the largest membership of any social networking site on the Internet.
3) Linkedin.com: 12.5 million members — a powerful tool for business networking.
4) Friendster.com: 29 million members. Friendster was considered the top online social networking service until around April 2004, when it was overtaken by MySpace. Demographic studies indicate users are from 17 to 30 years old.
5) Stumbleupon.com: Boasting 2.75 million users, StumbleUpon is a web browser plugin that allows its users to discover and rate webpages, photos, videos, and news articles. A great way to get website promotion. Bought by eBay for $75 million in May 2007.
6) del.icio.us: The website del.icio.us (pronounced as “delicious”) is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. The site was founded by Joshua Schachter in late 2003, and is now part of Yahoo!.

9) Twitter.com: A free social networking service that allows users to send “updates” (text-based posts that are up to 140 characters long) via SMS, instant messaging, email, the Twitter website, or an application such as Twitterrific. The site has become very popular in only a few months — a lot of people are watching it.
10) Classmates.com: 40 million members. One of the oldest social networking sites around, Classmates was kicked off in 1995, and has proven to be a great way for members to to connect with old friends and acquaintances from throughout their lives.
11) Meetup.com: 2 million members. Meetup.com is an online social networking portal that facilitates offline group meetings in various localities around the world. Meetup allows members to find and join groups unified by a common interest, such as politics, books, games, movies, health, pets, careers or hobbies.
12) Yahoo! 360° (a.k.a Yahoo! Days) is a personal communication portal similar to orkut and MySpace — it is currently in the beta-testing phase. It integrates features of social networking, blogging and photo sharing sites.

News Story
Subject: Obama Surprised
Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 million annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active duty.
The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal."Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained..
"Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute..."
"I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country," Obama continued. "I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit.
I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."
Please pass this on to every vet and their families whom you know.
