Combine All Your Instant Messaging Services Into One

Are you an instant messaging junky? Trillian can help you out. Trillian combines different IM services, making it easy for businesses that rely heavily on IM to chat with their clients or remote employees by consolidating contacts from various IM services into one application. Trillian can be used with AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ and Internet Relay Chat Client. Aside from IM, you can also audio chat, do file transfers, participate in group chats and chat rooms and create icons and typing notifications.

The $25 Pro version provides business-related plug-ins, such as video chat, that most say are worth the cost. The Pro version lets you create your own unique look for a chat site, so business users can personalize their sites with their logos. Businesses can also add news, weather, computer performance stats and world time using the Pro service. And if you get a new chat buddy who uses a service you don’t use, you can add them to your account without having to subscribe to a whole new IM service.

Only paid members get updates and priority e-mail help.
