Their video makes bold statements and from my first impressions of the program, it might be here to stay! I’ve been using a different, open-source, multi-platform chat client called Pidgin, and it has served me well for about 2-3 years. I first got it when it was called “Gaim” — it has, since, then expanded significantly. I just wanted to find a client that supported Facebook Chat, which Pidgin doesn’t — it does, however, have MySpaceIM (weird, right?). There is a plugin for FB Chat being developed, but it isn’t a finished product — and friends have told me that it doesn’t perform properly (causing Pidgin crashes, etc). Their documentation is from 2008…so..yea.
On another, related, note, I really liked some of the Twitter/FB update clients (namely Seemic Desktop and Tweetdeck), but neither of them have added FB chat. So, this brings me to Digsby — something I found just 15 minutes ago actually. So, without further ado, help me to welcome Digsby to my newly installed Windows 7 desktop, and see where it takes me.
