Editorial Review of Digsby

The Internet was created as a way to bring people closer, but in some ways, it drives people apart. If you're an AOL Instant Messenger user, for example, you can't communicate with someone who uses Yahoo! Messenger. And there's no simple way from an instant messenger program to check your presence on social networking sites such as Facebook, or to check email from a Web-based mail site not associated with your instant messenger program.

Until Digsby came along, that is. This program is a universal instant messenger, like long-time favorites Trillian and Pidgin. But it does them one better because with it, you can also check social networking sites, and email accounts.

It's extremely simple to set up any instant messaging, social networking, or mail accounts from within the program. And it lets you use just about all the feature of any of those programs, such as sending files via instant messaging. Considering that it's free as well, there's no reason not to give this one a try.

When you install this program, by the way, it changes your home page to a Digsby home page--so if you want to retain your current home page, make sure to go into your browser and change it.

Note: This link takes you to the vendor's site, where you can download the latest version of the software. The vendor states that Mac and Linux versions are on the way.
