Digsby =IM + Email + Social Network

Have you guys heard of Digsby?
I've found this little thing called Digsby while I'm searching for more latest news on social networking issues to write about.
Digsby's an industrial strength combo of cross platform instant messenger and social media status updater. Connecting with Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, AIM and Yahoo - it also boasts Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and LinkedIn status update tools. Digsby is a proprietary multiprotocol instant messaging application developed by dotSyntax.

Well, I've downloaded it and trying to use it. It takes me some times to get used to it because I'm not really good in all the technology stuff (It took me 1 month to get used to Facebook =_= !).
There is this buddy list, and as you scroll over the buddy names their away message pops up along with their profile. So no clicking on anything to view profile and away messages which is nice. You can also see that the Facebook add on and email are up at the top.
When you click on the Facebook link you get a sidebar that pops up with whatever you chose to include basically what you have when you log into your Facebook profile.
And there is a conversation window, its pretty straight forward. From the conversation window you can view their profile, IM, send them a file, send them an email or even video chat (I haven’t tested it out)
This is the little notification that pops up when somebody IMs you or sends you a message. Its pretty awesome as you can reply right through it and don’t have to open the window. I found it great to use when I was in Illustrator or Photoshop so it wouldn’t slow anything down.
Another thing is that when changing font the window freezes for about 45 seconds which can get annoying, luckily I don’t do that often.
If you are interested in this little thing called Digsby, you can come to here to download and try it out! It only cause you 4.63 mb.
