Why I love Digsby!

Digsby is simply an all in one messenger. For those older geeks, its basic features is almost like the good old Trillian.
I love this new gadget since it saves me loads of time and space on my desktop!, here are what it has for me:
1- I can logon to several gtalk (specially those on google apps), yahoo, icq, msn and aim accounts at the same time.
2- I can logon to several email accounts that I need to monitor gmail, yahoo, msn,... and view a summary of my emails right from the messenger
3- I can view feeds from Linkedin, Facebook and Tweeter, so no need for me to logon to their websites
4- It lets me group my friends messenger ID's in a single profile name (honestly I was sick of seeing a 100 names online in my roster while they were only 20 actual humans)
5- It has a fantastic Video Chat through TokBox

And yeah, I get all of the above in a single yahoo messenger size window!

The only thing i don't like about it is support of Farsi in its chat window, for some reason it doesn't show Farsi characters in there.

They probably need to work on update service as well, I'm not very comfortable downloading a 15M file every time a new build is released.
