Willing to sell out
Cam and I were talking about our mutual love for the IM tool Digsby which we both use to track e-mails, social networks and Instant messaging. If you like the popular Mac tool Adium, you will love Digsby. Even if you have never heard of Adium, Digsby is worth checking out.
Anyway, we were talking about Digsby, and I mentioned that one of the things I dislike is that if you use Digsby for Twitter, they automatically make you follow the Digsby Twitter feed. This is something that is very irritating, I don’t want to have to follow them or figure out how to un-follow them. This should be an option or something.
Additionally, Cam mentioned (and i agree) that he doesn’t like how they try to get you to install around 10 different applications when you install Digsby. This is something that I find in a lot of programs. I often get asked if I want to install Yahoo! toolbar or some such program and this irritates me to no end. I wish they would stop doing that stuff.
However, Cam asked me the following: If Yahoo! approached us and said if you package Yahoo! toolbar with your application, we will pay you $100,000, what would you say? The answer, obviously, was a resounding yes. So there you have it. We are willing to sell out, and I don’t even know what the price point for our selling out would be. So Yahoo! or Google or anyone else out there. If you want to pay us money to package your application, we are willing to do so.
