New IM Client – Digsby

So, recently I've been looking around for a new IM client other than Pidgin. I don't have anything major against it, but the latest version 2.5.2 had quite a bit memory leak that cause it to consume memory like no other. That and the fact that its very limiting in what you can do with it look wise. Recently Kelsey showed me a post on lifehacker.com about free software. Most of them I've heard of or used before, but one I hadn't heard of before was digsby.

Uppon looking into it further... I found that Digsby actually has quite a bit going on. Not only does it support all the major messengers, but it also supports other sites like Facebook and Myspace. Another cool feature is that it checks e-mail from IMAP servers for you, as well as gmail, hotmail, and yahoo mail. After seeing all this, I had to give it a try. I'm happy to report that I'm now using it as my IM client for.. well... everything. I've had it open for a full 24 hours now with absolutely no problems or complaints. It's staying well within the expected memory usage and hasn't been slow or laggy.

Well, that's all for now, just thought I'd throw it out there that I found something cool I like So far they only support Windows and Linux, they don't have anything for OS X, but I'm pretty sure they're planning on something. Anyway, check it out, you might like it.

Edit: After looking around further, I realized Digsby is only available for Windows... sorry. Aparently there will be a OS X and Linux version available soon. Also, I found one thing I don't like about it... it doesn't parse /me messages
