* There is no information for offline buddies as to when they were last seen. I keep my buddy list online 24/7, and if I haven’t seen someone lately, I would often scroll through “Offline” buddies and see if they really hadn’t been around or if I had just missed seeing them.

* Fly-outs are SUPER ANNOYING. I’m talking about the tooltips that fly out when you mouse over a buddy, an email account, or a social networking account on your buddy list. They sometimes load slowly, but far worse than this is getting rid of them. On Trillian they just go away once you move your mouse off the buddy’s name…but on Digsby they don’t. I have tried clicking the taskbar, another application, waiting patiently, all sorts of things, and sometimes they just don’t go away. I can even be typing in another application window (browser, for instance), and the pop-out is STILL THERE, blocking part of the application. I realize I could avoid this by shrinking the buddy list, but I like my buddy list to be open all the time so I can watch see it while I work, surf, etc.

These are two minor complaints that I hope will be improved once Digsby is out of beta. With Digby putting my email and social networking in the same convenient window as all of my IM clients, I doubt I will be returning to Trillian.
