Help me pick the best apps

by Milos Topic on April 24, 2009

As I’m in the middle of setting up my new work laptop I have some choices to make. I need to pick two apps, one for Twitter and the other as my main IM client.

When it comes to Twitter, I normally use the web but am now in need of more features. I need support for multiple accounts as well as grouping of followers. I’ve narrowed it down to TweetDeck (grouping of followers) and twhirl (multiple accounts), unfortunately neither one of them has both features (or am I wrong?). Which one would you recommend and why?

On the other hand, when it comes to the IM client my current options are between Digsby (seems to do everything), Trillian (I’ve been using it for years, simple and works) and Pidgin (It’s on of the greatest IM clients ever, plus I’ve been using it for our in-house chat server). Which one would you recommend and why?

For both of these categories please feel free to suggest some other clients not mentioned here which you found to be reliable, secure and efficient.

Thank you! :)
