So you’re tired of going to all the social networking sites and using all the social networking messengers out there?

Well if you haven’t heard of the free application Digsby you’re missing out on what could save you countless headaches that come with the growth of social networking.  With Digsby you can have one application access to all of your favorite emails such as Gmail, MSN, Yahoo as well as all the social networking message boxes such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter.  If that’s not all you’ll also be able to do instant messaging such as AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk and Jabber!

If you’re not too fond of installing anymore software on your computer there is a portable version of Digsby which you don’t need to install, can put on a USB drive, and carry anywhere with you.
