Digsby is where it's at. When it comes to Instant Messaging clients, there hasn't been one do-it-all that has captivated my appreciation as much as Digsby, the lovely spawnchild of a recent start-up named .
These guys are awesome. Digsby not only
works with MSN, Yahoo, Google Chat, ICQ, etc. but also with social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and LinkedIn. In other words, you can get messages and updates all through your desktop without having to go to the websites and poll for the info yourself. Transalation???? ......pure awesome.

Without further hesitation, you should proceed to do the following 2 things:
1) Get digsby (http://www.digsby.com/)
2) Throw on a custom skin, so you can strut it in good style'
I say the second point because unfortunately I think the one downside of Digsby is its default look & feel. Not the sleekest sexiest looking app around out of the box, luckily though it allows theming, which is great because you can match the looks with how good it is under the covers. My personal favourite is the Carbon Fiber skin, and I highly recommend it. To install it, simply download the skin and unzip it to {Your_Digsby_Install_Path}\res\skins\. After you unzip it, the directory structure will loo something like this:
So try it out, play around, and let me know what you think!
It's definitely one of my favourite new apps I've bumped into this year.
