The Five best instant messengers compared.

According to the user comments that follow the article, Digsby is the best instant messenger going. Never heard of it! might give that a try tonight.

Also, what's this social networking stuff about? I keep heading about "Twitter" on podcasts but I just don't see the usefulness of it yet.

According to the description, you use Twitter to type in random comments all day that everyone on your "followed" list gets.

Stuff like:

-I'm heading off to take a crap

-I just clipped my nails

-this beer made me burp

...I don't get it. People seemed hooked on it. Anyone using Twitter? I'm all for new things but Twitter just seems out of place. It's not an IM and it's not a blog.

-I'm going to post a message about Instant Messengers and Twitter on VeeshanVault now
