An open letter to Digsby
Dear Digsby,
I have just received a lovely email from you informing me that you are now supposedly the #1 Twitter client. I am a little surprised by your email, considering most people I know (and they're early adopters too!) use TweetDeck or Seesmic Desktop - I think your email sounds a little pretentious and is ill-informed. I have tried to use and abuse you in the past, unfortunately you've always made my computer crash, until I finally uninstalled you. The abuse was perhaps a little too much for you...Have a good week-end

Your open letter is testament to how important it is for copywriters to cut the marketing fluff and present the true facts.

@lindsaydavies Well said! What @digsby wrote is absolutely shocking considering Twitter is primarily used by early adopters! Huge FAIL!

it seems they were also bundling crapware with their installs.I thought it was suspect that their site has no "About page" or "company overview" page.
Does anyone know who is behind this software ??

@theblogdoctor: We wanted the website to focus on the product and not the company. Digsby is released by dotSyntax, a Rochester, NY startup based in RIT's technology incubator.@author: While Tweetdeck and Seesmic have the largest user base, we don't think they are the best Twitter clients. Our new Twitter release isn't #1 in terms of user base size (it did just launch). We feel that we have made the best Twitter client out there in terms of usability and functionality. Take it for a test drive for a few days and email feedback to bugs@digsby.com. Digsby has gotten a lot more stable with every release so perhaps it will be a better experience than it was last time you tried it.
