    Which multi-messaging client do you guys prefer?

    http://www.pidgin.im/

    Pidgin has a lot of third-party plug-in options, while Digsby has Email Notifications.

    Pidgin is compatible with more instant messaging clients.

    I like to use Digsby now since they fixed the problem with crashing my browser. It (Digsby) has better looks than Pidgin, and it has all the features I need. The thing that Pidgin really beats Digsby in is the third-party plug-ins. I have both of them installed in my computer, so I was just wanting to see a debate and poll on this too.

    What do you guys think?

    I find plugins to be really helpful with any application, plus they'll probably come up with a email notification plugin sometime later as well. ALSO I <3 the cute Pidgin logo so ima go with that, although to be fair I rarely use multi-messangers.

    Ugh, no love. :D I tried that one, it got really annoying, but it wasn't THAT bad. I usually either have Digsby (sometimes Pidgin) or meebo.com
