One of the Best IM Client I have seen ever.It can manage all your existing IM (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk, Jabber, and Facebook Chat), Email (Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL/AIM Mail, IMAP, and POP accounts) and Social Networks (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn) .You can chat with all your friends on all the above networks.You can login in all your accounts at a time and no need to enter your ids every time.It also has awesome skins which would be eye catching for every one.And the UI will look like this.I think It differs a lot from normal Gtalk UI..When compared to Gtalk you become Invisible which is not possible in Gtalk and this option is there in Gtalk labs edition.

How to get it…Download Here It is a 18 Mb file which takes around 3 min to download with a net connection of speed 100kbps..

Once you install it and opens the application it asks you to create a Digsby account and you can do it with ease and after creating an account you are just one step behind the process of connecting your friends using Digsby ..Now Open the tools option in the menu bar which is on the top of your Digsby Client.you will get a drop down menu with the first option as Preferences.Click on it so that it opens a dialogue box for you which has all the customizations..

And you can change your profile pic in the General & Profile tab and in the skins tab there will many attracting skins which is one plus point of Digsby..And my favorite skin for chat box is image
And You can also dock this IM client on your desktop and auto hide ..To activate this setting which is not active by default you have move to Buddy List tab and their you can change the way in which your buddies appear to you in the client..On the right side you have a option of docking it to your desktop. and auto hiding it and also keep it on top of all windows..And you can also transfer files as usual as in Gtalk..And you will also get the updates as pop ups automatically.You can also change the when the pop ups appear i.e when a user sign in or sign off etc..If you are guy with lot technical stuff you can even choose how much maximum CPU,Bandwidth does digsby  use..If your are not then don’t worry it takes takes care about them by default…And you can change your status from available to busy by just clicking on the green button which is in the side of your status in the client..You can also hide by changing to Invisible ….
