Today, Digsby announced an unexpected new feature: direct support for Facebook chat!

As far as I know, Digsby is the first multi-IM client to support Facebook chat, and it’s a feature that many Facebook users are looking forward to. They say in a blog entry that messaging, buddy icons, status and status messaging are currently supported. The more advanced features that Digsby is known for will be added soon.

The latest Digsby build also fixes some bugs associated with Yahoo! Mail beta and proxy support. Full details can be found at their blog.

You’re on AIM, MSN and Yahoo! Messenger. You have Google Talk through Gmail and you still have that old ICQ account lying around.

You think you have it covered with Trillian or Pidgin.

Perhaps you think you are a step ahead of your coworkers because you are using Meebo.

Think again.
