Digsby ToGo is officially in beta!

It’s been quite a while since I’ve udpated this, but I’ve spent this weekend working most on the Digsby ToGo project.  I’ve opened it up for a limited beta.  Send me an email containing a user/pass pair if you’d like to get access. Register at the DTG homepage.

How to get Digsby-ToGo:

  • Get your username and password. I’ll put a registration page up soon so you won’t have to contact me.
  • Download the Digsby-ToGo package from The DTG homepage.
  • If you are using Windows Vista, you will need to open the application as an administrator in order to run the Skin Installer.
  • Run the Bridge application.

Before you login, run the Skin Installer to install the hooks in the skin that will get your messages into Digsby ToGo.

Select your skin from the menu – change the location if you didn’t install Digsby to C:\Program Files\Digsby\.  Once you select your skin, click Install Hooks.  Once this is do Make absolutely sure you restart Digsby. It doesn’t do any harm – but the results will be inconsistent and erroneous.  If your skin isn’t compatible with the installer, please let me know.  zip a clean version (i.e. no hooks install) without any extra images and email it to me.

Once the skins are installed, you can login to Digsby-ToGo.

The Log tab provides mostly debug information.  You can minimize of close the program and it will go to the tray.  Your IM’s will be routed to my webserver and you will be able to login on your iPhone or iPod Touch and access them.

Please note that there is not any encryption at this time.

    2. I wish I didn’t need a ’server’ to use this app. It would be nice to be able to just use my phone stand-a-lone. Like when I’m sitting on the beach here in FL.

    3. I think you’d rather have meebo for something like that. There has to be a ’server’ in there somewhere to hold the connection to Digsby/IM Services. What’s great about this is that you don’t actually need an open port, the web server does all that work.
