Much better and easier to use than Trillian which is the other main IM Client where you can log into several IM Clients an check email as well.

What I love about Digsby is that you can view the titles of new emails and actually delete or spam them right from the menu. No need to open a web browser, pretty slick. Has a clean interface, tabbed browsing, several themes to pick from, support for all the IM Clients plus Facebook (which I don't use), file transfer all the good stuff.

I like how the pop-up notifications work too, you can choose which corner of the screen for them to pop on too.

Wish they could hurry up and create a Mac Version :P
