I got tired of Digsby. I need to reread their FAQ and other info to get re-energized about using it. I may have gotten lax and am missing out on all the great features it boasts and that originally made me want to use it. I sometimes find it annoying. I can't see people's avatars in the conversation window. Why is that?
And I'm getting a ton of IM spam, but this I believe to be fault of my Facebook profile's info tab--which may be crawlable apparently.
So I grabbed myself a sliver of apple pie and a mate chocolate, and went on trusty Lifehacker.com and looked up instant messenger. The majority of the results are Mac friendly IM programs, but I found a couple possible solutions. One is Miranda. I've used Trillian (and hated it) and Pidgen (didn't warm up to it). So here I am again trying. I appreciate Meebo's online availability no matter where you are, but it's still missing something as well.
I used Google to search and found a neat, considerably recent post on Mashable about the top IM aggregators. Wouldn't you know? Digsby is #1 for Windows.
Technically, I shouldn't even bother to have any IM software, since I have absolutely no one to talk to over IM. Everyone talks to me over FB's IM utility or my wall these days anymore. *sigh* It doesn't hurt to learn new stuff tho (silver lining) ;)
