I wasn't too concerned when they went down (and actually being off IM services has made for a productive day) but when they say 'one more hour' I expect just an hour, or at least an updated time later... not something that looks like a sign on a storefront that the owner has abandoned. I hope this isn't the end of Digsby. Yeah.. definitely disappointed about Digsby.

Since then I've been hooked on Digsby, and it is definitely a shame about the downtime. Overall, it's been a wonderful experience; I especially love the Facebook and Twitter integrations. Sounds like they are going to be addressing the single-point-of-failure issue, so I guess that's the good news!

I could see some reduced services if Digsby is down, but they could (and SHOULD) allow IM connections to the IM servers (Yahoo!, MSN, Google, AIM, etc) if connection to their server times out. This is almost certainly a show-stopper for a lot of people to be at the whim of a central server -- no matter _how_ stable it might have been over the past year. I think I might go back to my old IM client software until I see Digsby say they've made changes to the login handling mechanism. Our developers at work rely on IM to send info and ask questions with each other. I can't wait all day for Digsby to try to fix their servers.
