Ceaulean Studios-- Trillion Chat program

This is one great program for those of us who have to have every chat program on earth so we never meet someone with a different IM server. This program intigrates AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, and IRC into one application. It is so much more efficient than running all five simmultaniously to talk to everyone. The free version is perfect, with no annoying pop-ups or ads whatsoever. The Pro version is sopposed to be great too, but the free version is perfect for what i need. It works great, with no downtime in 3 years of using it. I would recommend this to anyone! There is nothing bad about it! Tech support is great, you send an e-mail to them, and the actual programmer/designer e-mails u an answer back in less than 3 days! GREAT DEAL! Avalible at www.ceauleanstudios.com. I like the interface much better than all the others put together! It is very user friendly and easy to learn.

You can also have more than one person logged on the program at a time (Note: When you go back to the prog you used before [e.g. Aim] you will have a "merged contacts" list)

skin aim with aimutation.com. kill aim ads with MyIM.

get free multiprotocol chat with either:

Miranda
http://www.miranda-im.org/

or GAIM
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

Trillian Pro was the most disappointing software purchase I ever made! I am not entirely thrilled with their "free" client either.

I really like trillian. I use it and aol messenger, but don't like a few things about trillian, those being: no html works in profiles, and buddy images dont display properly. Other than that it is a great piece of software.

The only problem i've found with trilion is the profile for AIM. If they would just fix that it would be perfect.

The free version is a little confusing for the first time user.

yup, Trillian is great, I will never install MSN or AIM/AOL/Yahoo because of the crap they leave behind, but Trillian allows me too use MSN w/o installing MSN, but then again I still use ICQ for ICQ instead of Trillian for ICQ LOL.

It only does the merged contacts in AIM, and it only does it if you add new conntacts to both names.

I have used the free version for a while now, and I think it's great. The only thing I have noticed is that file transfers between MSN users fail. File transfers through ICQ work just fine, though.

I love it.

Long time ago if I wanted to go on AIM, go on ICQ, and talk on IRC I would have to open up AIM, open up ICQ, and open up MiRC...That's just wasting RAM if you ask me..so I did the smart thing and get Trillian..now I can go on AIM, ICQ, and IRC within one program

Can't get better than Trillian when it comes to chatting. Used it for a while, always going to continue using Trillian Pro. By the way, this probably should have been posted in General Software.

eheh funny on how opinions change after using a product for more than a day . I should start a poll on who uses more than 2 chat apps at the same time. Like why not tell your friends to use the same messenger as you. they all do the same job in the end. Thats what I did , I tell my friends Im either on IRC or MSN.

fqpissed Bloated pile of donkey feces!

Bloated pile of donkey feces!

Not only is this bloatware, and a memory leaky resource hog, it also costs money for a version that has less features than the FREE Miranda client. Plain trillian has almost as many features as AIM+Aimuation (or any other base protocol + freeware ad-removing enhancements). If you really want to use mulitple identities or multiple protocols or both at the same time, use skins, and a host of plugins then you want to stay away from trillian like you would a notorious brothel.

You need to get youself a FREE copy of Miranda:

http://miranda-im.org


It has a FRIENDLY support community -- unlike the liberal cretins that troll the cerulean forums.

I don't know Trillian, but I'm using Miranda and it is great. Switched from ICQ to Miranda because Miranda isn't a ressource hog like ICQ, it uses less than a half of memory.

If Trillian is really bloatware, then I don't like it.

Is the new free version somewhat of a resource hog? It's slow to connect to everything and it kind of has a split second lag when I minimize the boxes or just click on another window. Anybody else know what I'm talking about?

I have noticed that too with the free version of Trillian. I only use the chat a couple of times a week for file transfers and such, therefore won't buy the pro addition. And you are right about the lag time. I have also noticed file transfers between my friends that are on MSN fails every now and then.

I might try that Miranda others were talking about. Sounds like there are a few fans.

Thumbs up

I got this because I wanted to talk to some one outside of pcmech and man it is great. I have done a few things that I have no idea what it was, but I got it all fixed. Great progam if you have more than one IM service I would reccomend it to anyone who asked.
