Not sure about you but I have MSN, Gtalk, ICQ and Y!IM contacts. And of course it's pain in the arse to have all those clients opened at the same time - it slows down the comp.
Few weeks ago or so I read on
MakeUseOf website
this article about
Digsby and was intrigued but still didn't try it out. (Btw, here are
screenshots)
Well 2 days ago there was a
poll on that very same site and Digsby was very high, so I decided to download it and try it out.
It supports even Facebook chat!!
Unfortunately there are things that Digsby doesn't have. Like Window Live Messanger's nudge or option to collect smilies (which is one of my strongest reasons why I love Windows Live Messenger).
It's different and it takes time to get used to it, but it's really practical if you have many contacts. It's still in beta and I hope they'll work on it even more and add more cool features. As the matter of fact, on their
official forum they even have Feature Requests thread so it's open to everybody.
And for further customization you can go to this
website and download emoticons, skins etc.
I really hope they improve on better and not crowd it with bunch of stupid stuff. I hate to see good thing destroyed or neglected.
My impression in this 2 days is very positive, and I recommend it to everyone!
