# JanRain announces DietPibb 0.3

If you use the [Pibb](https://pibb.com/ "Pibb") messaging platform from Portland’s [JanRain](http://janrain.com "JanRain") and happen to work on a Mac, you’ve got [a new tool at your disposal](http://janrain.com/blog/2007/08/12/diet-pibb-v03-has-been-released/ "new tool for Pibb").

[DietPibb](http://factoryjoe.com/projects/dietpibb/ "DietPibb"), developed by Citizen Agency’s [Chris Messina](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Messina_(open_source_advocate) "Chris Messina"), extends the functionality of the Pibb platform by allowing you to run Pibb as a desktop app.

Pibb combines the best features of instant messenger, chat, email, and bulletin boards. For more information on Pibb, please visit [pibb.com](http://pibb.com "Pibb").
