It was time to switch to an AIO Messenger. I totally patrionize FOSS (Free and Open Source Software), hence the first name that came to my mind was ‘ Pidgin ‘ ( I am using it in my Linux box which runs on Gutsy Gibbons ). I downloaded and installed the XP version of it. Somehow, it kept giving me an error and i was kinda tired of trying to troubleshoot errors. Since Google is kinda the ‘God of Internet’, it lead me to Digsby…and you know what, it works perfectly well…and to top it all, it has integrated features to update you of notifications on Social Networks such as Facebook, MySpace etc. Totally awesome. What more can you ask for ?

Meebo ( http://www.meebo.com/ ) is a total messengering solution for ppl on the move, or those who wish to secretly chat via browsers at work :) Meebo Rocks ! Check it out…

I use to use Trillian a long time ago and it is well rated on download.com. You could try that out too. But I guess they do not support G-Talk. A major drawback for me.

So in conclusion, Digsby Rocks for me :)
