The social IM client Digsby can not only connect you to your AIM and your Gtalk accounts, but log you onto Gmail, Facebook and Twitter, 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.
