Digsby is also capable of checking email messages ,and to post status messages to above mentioned social networks . The advantage is of such an application is that we don’t need to different softwares and websites for opening and checking multiple accounts .Digsby recently introduced an online installation method like Skype , so the user need to internet connection to download and installation this applications . I appreciate this as this mode generates some revenue for them ,and thus make the application free of advertisements .But of course we need an offline installer for backup and at the non availability of an internet connection .

A few Windows software and utilities like Yahoo Messenger, Windows Messenger, Chrome, Real player, DirectX,. NET framework, etc. comes in an online installation form. Therefore, it’s impossible for people without an internet connection to download, install or backup them for future use. Skype, the multi-platform VOIP client and internet messenger is also released in this way. However, we can download the full offline installer of Skype from a hidden URL.

Skype for Windows:

Skype supports Mac OS, Linux, Windows and Mobile operating systems Symbian, Windows Mobile, Android, iOS, etc. The Windows version is what we are talking about. It is only 400KB in size when you download it from the website. Then the installer will connect to the internet and download the Skype setup which is around 25 MB in size. Well, if that’s not your choice download the Skype 5 standalone offline installer  here

We will update the link when a new version gets released.

Twitter is having a Jabber-based real-time bot twitter@twitter.com , which tracks and distributes millions of tweets over instant messengers like Google talk and Yahoo messenger. The tremendous increase of user base and that too in short span of time affected Twitter servers and they were forced to withdraw instant messenger(IM) updates ,out of service .

So I found few alternative services that could be used to drive Twitter updates to your Instant messengers .

1. IMified :

IMified bot supports Twittering through Google talk , MSN messenger and Yahoo messenger .That is , You can receive  Twitter tweets from instant messenger interface  , after you added imified@imified.com to your friends list .

Update : Due to server related issues , Imifieds stopped public registration .

2. Excla.im
Excla is just another jabber bot that allows you to update your Twitter status by verifying your twitter account , password and adding tweet@excla.im to your contact list.

3. Twitt’d:
I would prefer this one as it supports both sending and receiving of tweets. Another feature is that it supports all most all instant messengers. But in each case , you have to add  the corresponding bots into your friends list .

For AIM,Yahoo! Messenger and Skype : twittd ,
For MSN messenger twittd@live .com ,
For Google talk or jabber twittd@jabber.org

Select a bot and enter your details as follows
/username “your twitter username”
/password “your twitter password“
So now you can post as well as receive Twitter updates in your instant messenger.


For those who don’t know: Twitter is a web2.0 micro-blogging social networking website that allows users to post their thoughts, comments, and opinions regarding their lives or anything in general using text messages of 160 char in length. In twitter, users have their own profile page that displays their latest updates. In addition, tweeters can become “friends” with one another, or simply be a “follower.”The interaction in twitter is real time so theres a lot of fun evolved in it . Twitter allows the users to post tweets through Twitter website, using SMS, through instant messengers (im) like Google talk, RSS,email and hundreds of free third party applications using twitter API.
