If your job revolves around the internet like mine, then you probably have amassed a number of email, IM, and social accounts over the past few years to connect to friends and colleagues, or to access certain services. In my case:
IM: I have a username for chatting through Google Talk, Yahoo & MSN Messengers, and AIM. I have a number of colleagues and friends who use each chat client, so it is beneficial to have more than one IM login.
Email: I have a gmail account as my primary address, but I also have a Yahoo email address to access Yahoo’s Site Explorer and some of their other services. I have a hotmail account that serves as my MSN login, and I have a number of email addresses for the blogs and ecommerce sites I run.
Social Networks: Among others, I have a facebook account to stay connected with my friends, a LinkedIn account to keep connected proessionally with current and past coworkers, and a twitter account to tie all of my activities together, from personal, professional, blogging and miscellaneous.
So how do you stay connected with multiple IM accounts, social networking accounts, and a whole host of emails to check every day?
Digsby.
Digsby talks with each of your IM, email, and social accounts above, and I’ve found that really saves me time during the day, while still allowing me to keep up to date with what is going on in my network of connections.
Digsby offers personalization through different skins and window styles. Choose how you are notified for each account through discreet popups in the corner of your screen, or through sounds. You can even create a Digsby widget to put on your blog or website so visitors can chat with you directly, even if they don’t have you set as a friend.
You can learn more or download Digsby here.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
