For those who use Trillian Instant Messenger, what do you like about it?

I've used it before, and the only thing that really annoys me is that you don't get much of a choice of away messages. Also your icons will get all screwed up if you aren't careful, and sometimes it messes with your profile. But for straight messaging, it works just fine, and it is very convenient. I hope you have good luck with it, I've had computers that didn't like it much but it works okay on my current computer, I don't know what the problem was before. I do like instant messaging as a way to keep in touch, when my friends from college all scattered it became the easy way to talk to each other. (We also have a message board.) Thanks for sharing!

I use Trillian for everything except MSN and IRC because I like the options on MSN better and it's not all that clunky and doesn't seem to hog resources too badly. My computer would grind to a halt if I ever tried to run MSN, ICQ, AIM, Yahoo and IRC all at once and I'm constantly chatting and working in a graphics program so I can't handle that. I've used it for years and it has always done pretty much everything I wanted it to do, but I cant figure out which of my profiles I get random messages to in Yahoo which is annoying cause I just automatically have to reply back as my main name. Other than that I'm more than happy with it.

I never used trillon..is it something you must pay for?+

What I like about it is that when you got several accounts, trillian helps you gather it all in one application ... no more sevaral programs open and I can see at a glance which friends are on or if any account got e-amils or not On the down side, you can't use video conference ... you don't have much choices as far as customizing is oncerned and status messages possiblities are really poor to conclude, I would say that when you got several accounts it really helps you save place and time, and is just fine for text messaging But if you want to establish a video conference then the reall thing is better in my opinion So I usually log on trillian to get everybody at a glance, and only launch msn or yahoo if I need to use the video

I used to use it and promote it to all my friends. Most are too dense to appreciate the power of combining all onto one though. Or they just have one account at only MSN or ICQ. I have accounts all over so it was handy for me. But I stopped using it since I no longer log on anyway.

I used to be very particular on various features but soon i realized that trillian is one of the best if you are considering your space. I am using that now. Good thing is you can have as many accounts logged in at the same time.

Most of the newest versions of AIM and Yahoo, etc. try to do that now too, combine all the IDs into one. I've never really tried it! lol I tend to use Yahoo more then anything and only have MSN and AOL for certain people. I've never heard of the Trillian one though. Might check it out!

Oh my, I had forgotten all about Trillian, I use to use it years ago, however, I haven't here lately. Thank you for reminding about it. When I had trillian besides combining all the messenger services, I enjoy changing my skins around... I never cared for ICQ, Don't think I would ever deal with that again

I tried it a while ago, though I decided to go back to Gaim who also groups ICQ, MSN, AOL,..Trillion has a nicer interface, but Gaim has more features, in particular it tells you when sbd has removed you from his or her contacts. I also think that trillion only works under windows.

I've tried using this programs before, when the pc here is new yet I don't know how to use it.. So I just stop and change the messenger I'm using.. I did quite have a hard time at that moment maybe probably because I was new to this computer thing..

I don't thank you I use the MSN
