Digsby, The New Awesome

Digsby is an awesome IM client that also happens to support access to many email services and social networking sites, with directly-updatable status feeds, like on Facebook or Twitter.

However, the main download at the Digsby site is a bit malicious, since it uses something called InstallerIQ to download and install the application. In short, InstallerIQ also pulls and installs dubious registry keys and potentially installs pop-up advertising on your computer.

To install the awesomeness of Digsby without the crappiness of InstallIQ, follow the directions I found at this blog:
