"Best multi - IM program available"
Version: Digsby build 60 (beta)
Pros
The ability to log into not only multiple messenger accounts but also email and social network accounts is awesome! The ability to not just view the emails received but to be able to manipulate them almost like you were in the Inbox is fantastic.
Cons
I seem to have to manually log into one of my messenger accounts every time I log in. But all the email and social network accounts are fine. It only seems to happen to the Windows Live messenger account.
Summary
This is the best multiple IM client I have used. I have tried Trillian and Pidgeon and they weren't as capable as Digsby. One of the main things I like is the ability to see the photos of the people on my contact list in the Digsby Buddy window. I woudl like Digsby to show avatars too, but its doesn't yet. Overall I would highly recommend Digsby.

"Too Many Virus"
Version: Digsby build 60 (beta)
Pros
It consolidate all Instant Messenger and it has a nice user interface. Be aware to click on DECLINE because if you click on ACCEPT it will install many spywares of all kinds.
Cons
It has spywares and many other type of bugs in the form of toolbar, registry cleaner, video, activities tracker and much more. During installation, I got many popups and programs opening.
Summary
The concept is cool, but the price even when is free; it is costly because of may spywares this software install. A registry cleaner scanned my computer without permission asking me to upgrade.

"Great interface. Very similar to Adium, but for PCs!"
Version: Digsby build 60 (beta)
Pros
Added many options previously Mac exclusive, including appearance, and "Listening to..." status options. Buddy groups can be combined by simply renaming the groups the same name. ! Added Facebook Chat as an option!
Cons
You can't be set as "Away" and use the "Listening to..." feature.
Summary
Great program. Better than Pidgin in many respects. No ads!

"Awesome Instant Messenger!"
Version: Digsby build 60 (beta)
Pros
-All the popular IM protocols together.
-Merged contacts easily.
-Email controls and composing built in.
-Social Networking News Feed and Status Change
-Themes and Skins
-Reply from Notification Window
-Ad Free!Cons
-None I have found.
Summary
Digsby is an awesome application and I have used it for a while and I love it.
I find this better than other programs like Trillian Astra especially the email controls. You can mark as spam, mark as read, delete, archive right from the interface and also compose mail from the IM window. Drag and drop tabs. Auto-hide buddy list. Drag and drop to merge contacts. Quick reply notification window. And much more!
It offers many other software during installation, however these are OPTIONAL. You can easily press Decline. Plus, wouldn't seeing a line of optional offers better than having annoying banner ads all over?
