Publisher's description of Trillian 3.1.10.0
Trillian is a fully featured, stand-alone, skinnable chat client that supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC. It provides capabilities not possible with original network clients, while supporting standard features such as audio chat, file transfers, group chats, chat rooms, buddy icons, multiple simultaneous connections to the same network, server-side contact importing, typing notification, direct connection (AIM), proxy support, encrypted messaging (AIM/ICQ), SMS support, tabbed chatting, system-tray notifications and alerts, and privacy settings.
Version 3.1.10.0 is a maintenance release and resolves a security bug.
Editor's review of Trillian 3.1.10.0
5.0 stars
- "All-in-one IM"
After nearly two years, Trillian is back to claim its rightful title as king of all chat clients. Version 3 offers a completely overhauled interface, tabbed chatting, enhanced messaging functionality, improved file transfers, and a new Instant Lookup feature. The program offers simultaneous access to the fab-five chat clients: Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, ICQ, mIRC, and AIM. By importing your passwords, buddy lists, and client preferences into its own interface, Trillian acts as a hub for all your chat traffic.
Installation and setup are simple, and the included features are useful. You can check supported e-mail accounts with one click, view detailed event logs for each client, and, of course, chat. Plus, each supported chat client has options such as video and voice messaging, SMS support, and file transfers. Trillian also offers skin support, although they can be a bit testy to install. While you'll occasionally lose contact with AIM, that's AOL's fault. Credit Trillian for fixing these blocks quickly.
The best thing about Trillian is that it's absolutely free--there's no adware or functionality limitations. So if you need help managing your schizophrenic chatting identity, this puppy's for you.

Version: Trillian 3.1.10.0
Pros: I've decided to use Trillian now instead of opening seperate Yahoo & MSN messengers. Skinable interface and easy to use. Always connects without any problems. Good set of options to customise.
Cons: You have to upgrade to Pro to use Video.

Version: Trillian 3.1.10.0
Pros: >:D Trillian has a much faster start-up and is highly flexible in customization. It's IM sounds are much quieter than AIM 6.5. No ads. No spyware. No viruses. Free.

Version: Trillian 3.1.10.0
Pros: I use this for ICQ, and MSN. It works great, and the fact that it is skinnable wins me over! Anything I can customize and tweak is good for me!
Cons: The file transfer part is a bit dodgy. Not sure if it's Trillian's fault, or the other person's chat client. Operation is not as smooth as I'd like.

Version: Trillian 3.1.10.0
Pros: I tried Pidgin before...doesn't even compare. This is one powerful app! It cracks me up that when you type LOL it smiles and laughs...I will take all the day brightening I can get. Adding multiple Yahoo accounts is great so I can stay in touch with business (imagine-believe-achieve.com) and personal at the same time. Keeping the contacts organized was a cinch. It has a much more professional modern skin then Pidgin...love that. Highly recommend it to anyone trying to messages using several IM applications.
Cons: I wish it had myspace IM available like Pidgin. My file transfer doesn't work. You have to pay $25.00 to use the webcam feature..that stinks...but thanks for no ads. All in all very happy :)
