It supports most mainstream IM services such as AOL Instant Messenger, Microsoft’s .NET Messenger Service, Yahoo!

Finally, Digsby also supports alerts and newsfeeds from MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Digsby has built in additional features such as customizable skins for the client and IM windows, aggregated web search from within the client via multiple sites, composing emails from IM windows, combining friends from multiple clients into one contact listing, and even a separable Twitter client with unique features such as chronological streaming (oldest to newest).
