Digsby Does It All…Almost

Digsby is a new application that functions as a universal instant messaging client but also integrates with facebook and MySpace and your email! On the IM side, the app gives you one combined buddy list for all your AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk, and Jabber Accounts. You can manage multiple conversations with tabbed conversation windows and you can even send your friends SMS messages right from the IM window. Digsby also lets you manage your Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL/AIM Mail, IMAP, and POP accounts get popup notifications when new email arrives. When you click a popup, you will be taken right to the message with auto-login into webmail accounts.

And last but not least, Digsby also helps you stay up to date with everything happening on your Facebook or MySpace account. You can receive alerts of events like new friend requests, messages, group invites, etc. You can also get a real time NewsFeed of what your friends are up to which includes everything from new photos, to status updates, and to upcoming birthdays. The only thing the software doesn’t work with is twitter (the horror!), but they might add that at some point since they hint that more social networks will be supported soon. Digsby is private beta now, so you’ll need an invite to download it.
