Digsby first hit the scene in early February. It's still in beta, but now you don't need an invitation to use it.
Other applications that enable you to manage multiple IM accounts include Trillian and Miranda, but Digsby goes a step further by integrating e-mail messages as well as Twitter, Facebook and MySpace communications.
Then there's Fuser, which lets you view your e-mail and social-networking messages in one place, but doesn't touch IM. And Orgoo integrates e-mail, IM, SMS (Short Message Service), video chat, and video mail.
It's enough to make your head spin.
