This is just a quick plug for an chat client I’ve just recently discovered: Digsby.
Digsby is a chat client that works with every network they can get their grubby little hands on. AIM, ICQ, Y!, MSN, Google Talk, Jabber, even Facebook chat. But there’s more, they also support email and Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Twitter has always seemed well, rather useless and annoying to me, but having it integrated into a desktop client and on my phone means I might actually use it.
I know what you’re thinking: Trillian does a lot of that. Well, yes, but digsby seems well designed, less clunky and annoying, and ironically more stable, even though it’s far newer and does more.
Another bonus with Digsby is that you create a profile on their site, so when you sign in on another computer, you don’t have to set up all of your accounts again.
