Back when Tagged bought the company - the first-ever acquisition for the 330-million-member, 225-country social network - it was intended partly as an aqui-hire and partly as a tech purchase.

The move gives a new lease of life to Digsby, which integrates different messaging and email clients into a single, unified view. The intention to make Digsby open source was first announced in July of this year, but TechCrunch understands that it’s only been in the last day that the source code has been completely migrated. It has now been taken open source, with its code now living on GitHub. A new chapter today for Digsby, the social/instant messaging client bought by social network Tagged in April 2011 and effectively put into an idle state soon after.
