Digsby = IM + E-Mail + Social Networking

If you are like me and are looking for a better way to get organized, you are going to love Digsby.

I just downloaded this little app and took it for a test spin.  It's free...and it is powerful.  So what is it?

Simply put, Digsby lets you combine ALL of your e-mail notifications, instant messenger accounts (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, etc) and social networking alerts, all in one place.  Instead of hopping from place to place, logging in, logging out, reloading, etc, you just fire up Digsby, ad you're done.

Check it out...

Instant Messaging

* One combined buddy list for all your AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk, Jabber, and Facebook Chat Accounts.
* Manage multiple conversations with tabbed conversation windows.
* Rename contacts with an alias so you don't have to remember buddy names like 'giantsfan123'.
* If one of your friend has more than one IM account, combine them into a single contact to eliminate duplicate buddies.
* The InfoBox lets you check everyone's status message and profile just by moving your mouse down the list.

Email

* Manage your Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL/AIM Mail, IMAP, and POP accounts right from digsby.
* Get popup notifications when new email arrives. Clicking a popup takes you right to the message with auto-login.
* The email InfoBox gives you a snapshot of your unread messages with just one click
* Perform actions such as "Mark as Read" or "Report Spam" right from the email InfoBox.

Social Networking

* Stay up to date with everything happening on your Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn accounts.
* Receive alerts of events such as new friend requests, messages, group invites, etc.
* Set your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn status right from Digsby.

Other

* Digsby offers complete synchronization between computers and installations.
* You can place a widget on your blog, website, or social network profile so you can chat with visitors right from Digsby.

As I said, it's free and it's a pretty cool little program.  If you want to check it out for yourself, get Digsby here.
