It supports most mainstream IM protocols such as AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, ICQ, XMPP, and Facebook Chat. Digsby also supports e-mail notifications and alerts from MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. It is released free under a proprietary license. Development is funded through optional sponsored add-on applications via installer and a distributed computing , web-crawling, and data-mining function that is turned on by default. It needs registration, which can be done through the program's installer or through a web interface.

Digsby Beta (build 76) Improvements :
# Major Changes:* New Skins: The “Windows 7” skin now has 8 new variants by @derekerdmann. Access them via Preferences > Skins
* Windows 7 Support: Digsby takes advantage of jump lists for easy access to common tasks and top buddies (by log size). We also use taskbar grouping to let you jump to conversations, see typing notifications and unread conversation counts
* Better Popups: Social networks will no longer show a separate popup for Alerts and the titles will no longer say “Facebook Newsfeed” with a generic Facebook icon. Instead, you will see the friend's picture and name with a small badge in the top right for each network. You can also comment/like Facebook items right from popups
* Trending News: We've partnered with the folks at OneRiot to bring the latest trending news stories to your social feeds. You can enable/disable via Preferences > General & Profile
* Facebook Dislike: We're amazed by how many people wanted to “Dislike” Facebook posts. The “Dislike Button” Facebook page has over 3.2 million fans! You asked for it, you got it.
* MySpace Newsfeed: We've revamped the MySpace newsfeed to support their new APIs so it looks a lot more like the Facebook/Twitter feeds including the ability to comment on statuses
* MySpace Achievements: Back in September we introduced achievements for Facebook and the functionality is being ported over to MySpace
* Yahoo HTTP Support: Restrictive firewalls and proxies should no longer be an issue for Yahoo Messenger users. Edit the account in preferences and set it to “Always use HTTP”
