CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Digsby should easily be the instant messaging freeware of choice for the super social set. In addition to supporting the major IM networks--Yahoo, MSN, AIM, ICQ, Google Talk, and Jabber--Digsby also pulls in Web mail feeds, as well as access to MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook accounts. Updating Twitter is a breeze from the application's main interface, though users wishing to do anything more than read Facebook and MySpace news feeds will be redirected to their online accounts.
Users can initiate text, video, and audio chat from the conversation window, and transfer files, send SMS, and compose e-mail. Digsby supports not only Web mail, but POP and IMAP accounts, too. The notification pop-ups for every activity can get distracting, though a deep preference options control nearly every aspect of the display, including a wide variety of skins and those pesky pop-ups. Digsby is off to a strong start, and the most recent version does an amazing job of fixing stability and resource-hogging problems.
Although many people had written off the app as too cumbersome in the past, the current build is well-worth downloading and exploring.

Version: Digsby Build 34
Pros: Chat with anyone who logs into facebook. Update status on all accounts at once, and check for activity on all accounts easily. It also has an option to anchor firmly to the edge of screen while forcing other windows to open to the leftover space.
Cons: Distracts me from my work!! Doesn't interface with Skype
Summary: Great little program, welcome has not been worn out yet...
-
Version: Digsby Build 34
Pros: Supprts multiple simultaneous logins across every major IM service. Checks mail, Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn. Works great. I used to use Trillian but it's about a year behind Digsby in functionality.
Cons: Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the individual messengers.
Summary: Great all-in-one messenger.

Version: Digsby Build 34
"Very good, with only a few flaws."
Pros: It has many of my most used web based clients, such as IM, email, and social networking and is a real time saver.
Cons: It doesn't have everything I'd like, and it lags a bit, being kind of slow, and takes up a good portion of usage.
Summary: This is an amazing application, and if it was faster, and had more things, it would be absolutely amazing. I'm still going to use this, despite the few flaws it has, because it's well worth it.
