yeah, thats what I do!!!
Do you have multiple email accounts?
Are you active on social networks like twitter, FaceBook, MySpace and LinkedIn?
Do you have friends on Gtalk, Yahoo messenger, MSN etc?
If you answered in the positive then you must be in the same situation as I was until now. It was an ordeal to check all my mails in the various accounts. It was tough to keep glancing at Gtalk, Yahoo messenger to chat up with friends.

Digsby comes to the rescue! Digsby is a desktop application (available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux) that you can install on your PC and link all your email accounts, messengers and social network accounts such as facebook, twitter, linkedin etc.
Once you link all the accounts, you do not have to bother yourself with checking each account individually. Digsby notifies you of any activity in the linked accounts.
The top 10 features I particularly found interesting in Digsby are:
1. A combined buddy list for all your messengers such as Gtalk, yahoo, AIM, MSN etc.
2. Ability to rename your contacts with an alias of your choice.
3. Send emails from the IM window. You can choose to send mail from any of the email account that you have linked at Digsby.
4. Manage all your mail accounts such as Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo from a single application.
5. Options such as ‘Report Spam’, ‘Mark as Read’, ‘Delete’ etc available in the email info box.
6. Notifications every time a new mail arrives and ability to check the mail instantly in your default browser with a single click.
7. Stay updated with whats happening in your facebook account. Every time someone sends you a message, or someone writes on your wall or any kind of newsfeed is displayed to you.
8. Set your status message in facebook, twitter or linkedin right through digsby.
9. Complete customization of the digsby interface. You can do this by clicking on Tools -> Preferences.
10. Place the digsby widget in your facebook profile or blog and chat with your readers.

Yes, Digsby is a one stop shop for all your communication needs. However, it takes a whole lot of time to start up, and is adept at hogging system resources!

What about the other services such as voice chat, cam chat, group conversation etc? Is digsby capable in these departments cuz nowadays I’m more talking online than texting.

I haven’t really tried those things, but it has those options. The thing is, you will find all the options that are available in your messenger. So, google talk would have the ‘call’ option and so on. Give it a try and let me know if it’s good in those departments
