Digsby
Digsby is unfortunately nothing to do with Rising Damp. It's actually a multiprotocol chat client that also pulls in Web mail along with access to MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook accounts.
Despite RAM-hogging and stability issues, Digsby should easily be the instant messaging freeware of choice for the super social set. It supports the major IM networks of Yahoo, MSN, AIM, ICQ, Google Talk, and Jabber.
Updating Twitter is a breeze from the application's main interface, though users wishing to do anything more than read Facebook and MySpace news feeds will be redirected to their online accounts.
Users can initiate text, video, and audio chat from the conversation window, plus transfer files, send SMS, and compose short e-mails. POP and IMAP accounts are supported alongside Web mail. The notification pop-ups for every activity can get distracting, though you can turn them off. Although many people had written off the application as too cumbersome in the past, the current build is well-worth downloading and exploring.
