Digsby, the All Knowing

I am going to venture off of my normal posts of hellfire and damnation towards people and events, and instead focus on praise. I know you might not feel right seeing me praise something, but you’ll just have to deal with it.

Digsby is perhaps one of my favorite applications, and I think that if you use multiple instant messaging services, multiple e-mails, and multiple social networks, then Digsby is for you. Digsby can include them all. I have AOL, Gmail, and Yahoo chat and e-mail. I would normally have to install the app for all three of these to get the functionality that Digsby offers. I added to the complexity of my life by then joining Twitter and Facebook, but with Digsby, I only have to log into one app to access them all.

So what does Digsby do for me? It logs me in and keeps me logged in to all of them. Some of you on Facebook may have noticed that I am always on Facebook, well, I’m actually just logged into Digsby and that keeps me logged into Facebook chat all the time. I’m not slacking off at work; I’m just logged in to chat through Digsby. Now, I get you are wondering why I have all of them logged in at work. Well, that’s easy to answer also, I have to contact people all over the country through chat, and some of them use Google chat, and other use AOL, and others still use Facebook chat. So staying logged into chat all day is a necessity.

Some of you might like this next feature, and others may not. When you create a Digsby account, you can install it on as many computers as you want and the settings will carry over. If I make a change to my Digsby settings on my work computer, they will carry over to my home computer with no problem at all.

I also hear that Digsby is still looking to improve by including Skype and your Xbox Friends list also. I would like to see both of them, but I am not sure how that would work. Anyway, take a look at the website and see if this program may interest you.
