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: it has now been taken open source, with its code now living on GitHub. 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.The move gives a new lease of life to Digsby, which integrates different messaging and email clients into a single, unified view. 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. All seven employees of developer dotSyntax were joining the company and the idea eventually was to incorporate features of Digsby into Tagged, which unlike Facebook is primarily about meeting new people (similar to Badoo) than it is about reconnecting with those you already know.
