Digsby is a great Instant Messenger without a doubt. It offers features others charge for but it comes with a price. Digsby has been switching back and forth with their installers. They even went so far to use an adware installer call freeze. They went back to their old installer but it also tries to get you to accept things or alter stuff. The bad thing is they change things without warning so whenever you download Digsby you have to be extremely careful to watch over the installer because each release can bring something new that is unwanted.

If you can get by that Digsby has some truly nice features such as skins and themes. Ability to voice and audio chat. Auto Updating and saving ALL of your preference [Wish Trillian Astra has this]. It's now playing also allows for WAV files which Astra doesn't allow for. You also have facebook IM, as well as social networking capabilities with LinkedIn, MySpace, and of course Facebook. Not to mention the countless number of Instant Messenger services it provides. It even offers to auto log you into these Social Networks and Email accounts so all you have to do is click on the service you want to go to and it log you in automatically. Another useful feature is being able to respond to people in the notification popups so you can talk to someone who instantly signs in instead of having to go into the contact list.

Very good Instant Messenger but can be very dangerous as well.
