Digsby is a free multi-platform, multi-protocol chat and notification client. It lets you connect to multiple instant-message services, e-mail providers, and social networks--all from the same application.

Digsby carved its niche this past year as being one of the first services to offer Facebook's chat off Facebook proper. It also added the capability to bring settings between various computers, giving users the same experience at work and home without having to worry about making changes.
