![]() ![]() I still think it’s great and I really like the direction it’s going in, but I just found a better alternative for my needs at this point in time. I felt a little guilty, but I’m not writing Digsby off at all. ![]() ![]() The fact was I was using Digsby, a IM client which was way too resources heavy and susceptible to RAM spikes when Pidgin would do the job better. It did have the very real advantage of Facebook Chat integration which I did use a lot, however I quickly discovered that Pidgin also had a plugin available to achieve this.Īlso I found Pidgin had support for IRC Chat which is something I have begun to use a fair bit lately. When I did use them it was through Flock. While Digsby is great in the way it keeps track of social networks like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter the reality is I wasn’t actually using those features very much at all. I was immediately impressed by what I saw, it was fast, a lot faster then Digsby and supported a whole lot more chat networks while additionally having some great plugins available. ![]() This wasn’t a deliberate choice at first, I started dual booting Ubuntu and of course Pidgin is the default chat client. I also liked the simple but effective design and of course there was that warm early adopter glow of being there to support a growing service from the very beginning.Ħ months later and I started to use Pidgin. Given the growing number of social networks, chat addresses and email accounts I had I found it a brilliant solution to keeping it all under check. ![]()
