Wizardies!

Today I stumbled upon a site that was boasting to offer what a lot of people on the internet want! They offer a desktop application that can be used to login to all your favorite web services simultaneously, after being logged into a single and simple messenger.

It looked interesting and therefor I thought to give it a try and suggest it to my readers. This application is named as Digsby and offers the following services to be logged into.

Instant Messaging:

• AIM
• MSN/Windows Live
• Yahoo
• Gtalk
• ICQ
• Facebook

Email Services:

• Gmail
• Windows Live Mail
• Yahoo Mail
• AOL Mail
• IMAP/POP

Social Networks:

• Facebook
• MySpace
• Twitter
• Linked In

After downloading, I installed it, it took about 2-3 minutes while installing. Right after installation, it asked me to sign up for an account on Digsby’s site. Sign up form was short and simple, therefor I didn’t hesitate while signing up. After logging in, a neat window appeared that asked me to add services; for each service i.e. Email, IM, or Social Network, I had to write login credentials. All of my online contacts, email notifications were shown in a neat looking messenger.

The things I liked the most:

Facebook Alerts:

Keeping track of social networks and receiving updates.

Multitasking:

Multitasking enables to reply a chat right from popup window

My Comments about the Service:

Overall I liked the service, it’s neat clean and convenient. But while using it, I noticed Digsby doesn’t offer that much features of a particular messenger as the original does. So for MSN or Yahoo addicts, I would recommend to stay with your favorite messengers. But for those who use lots of IM/Email/Social Networking services, or those who are extremly busy and hardly get any time to check the updates and activities of their IM/Email/Social Networks, I think Digsby is a great tool to work with. It helps you to keep a track of all the activities going on.

If you would like to add something in the review, dont hesitate to drop by a comment..
