Of course, you shouldn't have to emulate to run an IM client. I will let you know when they announce a release version for Linux and/or Mac OSX.

It does look like an interesting app, and possibly a successor to my current Pidgin client. The only problem is that for me, until the Linux client emerges, Digsby just doesn't exist.

I could run it under Wine, perhaps, but that's not really my preference. However, if Digby does ever *poof* into existence, it will certainly challenge Pidgin's place on my desktop.

I wish you luck with the reviews and such! I write some reviews and dole out advice from time to time, but I do not have the energy to turn my blog into a full-blown tech blog. I'll add you to GReader and I look forward to seeing what else you have to write about in the future.

I agree! Digsby is very cool. Besides all the good stuff I wrote about, I like how it just gets out of the way while it's running. It integrates very nicely into the Windows gestalt, to the point you don't even know its running at all, until you get an IM or a new email.

Thanks for visiting, and thanks for the positive comment! I'm definitely going to keep pushing out the reviews and primers, but at the pace of 1 – 2 a week so put me on your RSS list, I promise not to add too much reading time.

Digsby is the best multi-IM client so far, in my not-so-humble geek opinion; and I'm just sad they haven't ported it to Linux yet. Pidgin still carries me through on my Ubuntu box though.

Well written review! I came across the link to this on your guest post at SheGeeks.

Digsby is an awesome ~everything~ Social Media / IM / Email Client – very, very cool! This app saves me from opening up 5 apps to do the same thing Digsby does all in 1 app! neat!! Plus, it was created by smart college kids at Rochester, NY.

[...] noon today, I posted a new article to my blog about Digsby. It took me a while to write because I wanted to make sure I wasn’t [...]

I think you'll end up sticking with it. I did remove my twitter login in Digsby while I was testing twhirl and some firefox plugins, but I re-enabled it for this review and I'm actually liking it now.

Thanks for the review. I've been a Trillian user for a number of years now, but I like to experiment. I think I can find room to give ol' digsby a try.
