Digsby: Real Time Web, IM, Email, Social Networks

Manage all your existing IM, email, and social network accounts from one easy to use application.

Digsby is a multiprotocol IM client that lets you chat with all your friends on AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk, and Jabber with one simple to manage buddy list. You can use Digsby as email notification tool that alerts you of new email on any account and allows you to perform actions such as ‘Delete’ or ‘Report Spam’ with just one simple click. On top of that, it is also a social networking tool that alerts you of events and gives you a live Newsfeed of what your friends are up to.

In addition to their already impressive list of supported protocols and networks, they recently released a new version that adds access to your MySpace Activity Stream, status updates and the ability to browse pictures. They have also partnered with OneRiot to enable real-time search of the web from your desktop.

Here are some screenshots:

In addition to all this, Digsby has also launched its own URL shortener, which is built right into the client so you can share a link across social sites and later track them too.
