Digsby – Multi Account Messenger

This freeware is all about making things easier. If you are on every social networking site available, have several different accounts and are available on every IM, then it’s a given that you are finding it difficult to maintain your pace. So this application has a small rectangular window where you can add up all the sites you usually logon to and simply submit your passwords and login names. This way you can keep track of everything over a single window. Though Digsby was started with something good in mind, it did not really prove to be that good.

Installing this application can be a problem and even if you manage to change the sound files, the application always changes to the default type when it updates itself. While installing you may also be made to install several add ons which can be very annoying. What is worse is that it gets you to add a ‘Digsby accomplishments’ option and then recommend this application to people in your friends list. So installing this requires plenty of patience. But if you do manage to get over this phase, then this application can be really useful. If you are a big fan of emoticons on IMs then this wouldn’t stand good for you. Also there are not many choices available on layouts or how you would like to view your accounts and stuff.
