Digsby update is faster, lighter and more LinkedIn
A new update for Digsby has been released, with support for LinkedIn and a much-improved memory footprint. The update to the popular multi-network instant messenger and social networking tool was released today, and I'm impressed. I've been a fan of Digsby since it first came out earlier this year. My only complaint has been the memory it uses. It was -- to put it politely -- a bit of a hog. This new beta is the result of several months of code optimization, bug squashing and even a few new features, and the results are great.
To compare, I checked the memory footprint of the last version of Digsby (build 15142) and it was using 92MB of RAM. The new version of Digsby is using only 49MB of RAM -- a significant improvement. This alone is reason to upgrade, or to check it out if you haven't already.
The Digsby update also adds support for the LinkedIn social network for professionals. Of course, Digsby already supported MySpace, Facebook and Twitter.
I asked developer Steve Shapiro what was next for Digsby. "We worked hard to optimize the code on this version, making Digsby more efficient and faster. Now we're ready to focus on the Mac and Linux versions."
"We're also ready to begin adding more features, including support for more social networks and group chat," said Shapiro.
There's still no public dates on when we'll see versions for the Mac or Linux, but for Windows users, Digsby is a fantastic product. It's free, with no advertisements, and great connectivity.
The update for this version requires you download from the Digsby site. This is because the update size is bigger than the installer, and there are bugs with the previously released updater component that would cause it to fail.
Check out Digsby:

Yahoo Launches oneConnect (and free SMS) for iPhone
Yahoo! today launched a new, free application for iPhone and iPod Touch users called oneConnect. oneConnect has a rather ambiguous name which makes sense once you understand it's purpose. oneConnect attempts to give you one application to connect to all your various social networks. Of course, it connects you with all your contacts in your Yahoo! Messenger friends (which can include Windows Live Messenger users), but oneConnect also connects you to your contacts on many of the most popular social networks. Which networks? How about Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, Youtube, Bebo, Dopplr, Friendster and Twitter, for starters?
There are a number of interesting features in oneConnect. First of all, the contacts button shows a complete list of all your contacts, regardless of which network they belong to. Your Yahoo! Messenger friends, Twitter contacts and Facebook buddies all show up in one big list. The general idea is that this will make it easier for you to stay in touch, since you can use "one app to rule them all."
oneConnect screenshots
You can see the latest photos from your Flickr contacts, or Twitter updates from that network, and so on. But probably one of the most intriguing features is also the least obvious -- free SMS (that's text messaging, for the acronym-impaired). This is significant because here in the U.S., AT&T does not include text messaging with the new iPhone 3G phones -- you have to pay extra for a text plan, or pay-as-you-go (I call it "pay-through-the-nose").
The SMS feature lets you use Yahoo Messenger to send and receive text messages to any contact in your list using a cell phone with a U.S. number. Sorry rest of the world, this one's just for U.S.
I'm interested in trying this app, since I 1) have an iPhone, 2) have a Yahoo! Messenger account, 3) use Flickr and Twitter regularly. The other networks aren't really so important to me, but I'll give it a try and report back shortly. Meanwhile, iPhone users can get oneConnect now from the iTunes store.

SweetIM for ICQ - beta testers needed
We've got some good news, and some even better news:Due to the great success and popularity of SweetIM among MSN, Yahoo, and AIM Messengers users (millions of active users), we've decided that it’s simply wrong to leave so many ppl out there in the world without our cool content just because they are using a different IM!
So the good news is that we’ve decided to develop SweetIM for ICQ as well!
The even better news is that it’s almost ready, which means our Smileys, tZers, Winks, Sounds, Videos, Nudges, and the rest of our cool content will be available for ICQ users soon!
We’re currently looking for ICQ users to participate in our Beta tests.
Feel free to register for it by sending an email to info@sweetim.com with the subject “ICQ BETA tester” and with your ICQ number.

Second Life launches SLim instant messaging
The big differentiator is that SLim also provides voice chat.
Unfortunately for us, it appears that neither ThereIM or SLim will permit cross-network chat with other IM systems such as AIM, Google Talk, Yahoo! or Windows Live Messenger.
What's with all the recent announcements about virtual worlds? Most of this came about as a result of the second annual Virtual Worlds Expo held in Los Angeles last week.

There.com links 2D/3D chat worlds
Mashable reports that There.com is working hard to grab some headlines again, this time with a trio of upgrades. They now provide better Japanese language support, a version for Mac OS X users, and a lightweight IM client that lets users communicate with friends outside of There.com's virtual world.
According to Mashable, There.com claims that ThereIM is the industry’s first instant messaging tool that allows members to travel between its virtual world and a 3D instant messaging application that sits on their desktops.
ThereIM will extend the avatar experience for members by maintaining their in-world identity while communicating with friends that are in or outside of their 3D world. In addition, ThereIM will allow members to change clothing, use emotes, shop and instantly teleport into the world. ThereIM has been in closed beta since early this year and is expected to be released this year.
So apparently, ThereIM is vaporware at the moment. No word as to whether ThereIM will allow connectivity with other IM networks like AIM, WLM or Yahoo.
