Erratic Souls » chat http://erraticsouls.com Our Philosophy of Blogging: To write what we will in whatever way we choose, without fear of regret. Our meanderings may wander 'erratically' at times, and there is certainly no certainty we may not change our mind, but one thing is absolute, we will always be honest to ourselves...

I used Trillian years back, and cannot remember why exactly, but no longer have it on my system. Probably just got left behind as upgrades, new drives and new machines evolved. There are quite a few of these all-in-one programs available now though – Trillian, Pidgin, Miranda and Meebo – as examples, but the one that really caught my eye was Digsby.

Digsby

From the authors’ themselves:

    Digsby is a multiprotocol IM client that lets you chat with all your friends on AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk, and Jabber with one simple to manage buddy list.

    digsby is an email notification tool that alerts you of new email and lets you perform actions such as ‘Delete’ or ‘Report Spam’ with just one click.

    digsby is a social networking tool that alerts you of events like new messages and gives you a live Newsfeed of what your friends are up to.

First impressions are quite good, with the only problem as yet being that the Twitter connection keeps dropping, but I like the interface and the flexibility of the product overall. If anyone has any tips on getting the most out of Digsby, please drop me a comment.
