Tagged Buys Popular Social/Instant Messaging Client Digsby
Tagged CEO Greg Tseng says that they intend to keep the Digsby software as a standalone product, and also incorporate features into Tagged over time. Says Tseng: “They have expertise and technology in real-time communications which we want to use to push into instant messaging, group chat, video chat, etc. IM is our most requested feature on Tagged.”
Digsby has 3 million registered users today (Tagged has over 100 million), and the company has raised $500,000 in funding.
