How to get Facebook Chat on your Desktop Chris Wallace


Digsby has hit the scene like Britney Spears at a mental institution. At last, I can finally toss out AlertThingy and Twhirl and and all that other garbage that causes me to waste time reading spam all day mixed in between 5-10 messages from people I know in real life. The release of Digsby surprised many who thought that Facebook was much more interested in keeping chat all to itself.Digsby Screenshot #2

Here are the services that are supported so far:

  • Gmail/Google Talk
  • Facebook/Facebook Chat
  • AOL Instant Messenger
  • Yahoo! Messenger
  • MSN Messenger
  • Twitter
  • Jabber

Digsby Beta

All it needs is integration with FriendFeed and Digg, and you can get rid of pretty much every other feeder and reader. Personally, I’m getting sick of staring at AlertThingy, so this is my way of downsizing in order to increase my daily productivity. Download Digsby Beta here
