I don’t like to show off. But I’m just too cool and too popular. I have too many friends, everywhere I go. I have friends on GTalk, on Yahoo Instant Messenger, on MSN, on ICQ and on Twitter. I also have friends on Foursquare and Facebook. And I love to constantly update them about what I am doing. The only problem, however, is that all my friends are on different platforms and I have to use different chat applications because they all use different mobile phones, computers and are on different networking platforms. This makes it very tough to stay in touch with all of them.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was one application that allowed you to stay in touch with all your different friends at the same time. Trillian is a free multi-network messenger (http://www.trillian.im/ [1]) that allows people to chat with friends on all various messengers and social networks. No need to install multiple chat programmes or social networking apps. With a single sign on into Trillian, you can simultaneously stay in touch with all your friends on all different programmes and networks.
Trillian also has a bunch of very useful features like it supports all desktops, laptops, mobile devices, tablets and even has a web client that runs off their website within your browser itself.
An even greater feature in Trillian is that it allows you to continue a conversation, which started on your computer to your mobile phone. All your chat histories are automatically synced and shared between all your various devices. Trillian also has an intuitive user interface that makes exchanging messages, files or photos with your friends quite a breeze. Not only is Trillian a multi-network messenger, it also allows users to stay connected with their favourite social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Foursquare. It will show all your social network feeds in a nice looking easy-to-interact format. You can also like and comment on posts right within Trillian! It also allows you to update all your friends on all your various networks with a single change of your “global status”.
Overall, it’s easy-to-use, has a fantastic user interface and is fast!
