Trillian is a proprietary multiprotocol instant messaging application created by Cerulean Studios. It is currently available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, iOS, BlackBerry OS, and the Web. It can connect to multiple IM services, such as AIM, Bonjour, Facebook Messenger, Google Talk (Hangouts), IRC, XMPP (Jabber), VZ, and Yahoo! Messenger networks; as well as social networking sites, such as Facebook, Foursquare, LinkedIn, and Twitter; and email services, such as POP3 and IMAP.

Trillian connects to multiple instant messaging services without the need of running multiple clients. Users can create multiple connections to the same service, and can also group connections under separate identities to prevent confusion. All contacts are gathered under the same contact list. Contacts are not bound to their own IM service groups, and can be dragged and dropped freely. Trillian represents each service with a different-colored sphere. Prior versions used the corporate logos for each service, but these were removed to avoid copyright issues, although some skins still use the original icons. The Trillian designers chose a color-coding scheme based on the underground maps used by the London Underground that uses different colors to differentiate between different lines.[11]
The new version implemented file transfer in all IM services, a feature most requested by the community at the time. It also represented a number of skin language changes. It used the contact list as the main window (as opposed to a status window 'container' in prior versions) and featured a brand new default skin, Trillian Cordillera, and an emoticon set boasting over 100 emoticons, setting a record apart from other messengers available at that time.
On March 7, 2004, and June 23, 2004, Yahoo! changed its instant messaging language again to prevent third-party services, such as Trillian, from accessing its service. Like prior statements, the company said the block is meant as a pre-emptive measure against spammers.[27] Cerulean Studios released a few patches to fix the issues within a day or two.
More than a year after the release of Trillian 3.1, the Cerulean Studios blog began spreading news again and announced the next version of Trillian, to be named Trillian Astra. The name for version 4, Astra, is the nickname used by the same fictional character that is the namesake of the software, which is a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The new release claimed to be faster and include a new login screen. A new domain, www.trillianastra.com, was disclosed to the public, with only the logo and blue background. On July 3, 2009, Cerulean Studios reopened the premium web version of Astra to public testing. On August 14, 2009, Cerulean Studios released the final gold build.[32] Trillian has its own social network named Astra Network, in which users who have Astra ID can communicate with each other on the network regardless of platform. Cerulean Studios later registered a new domain, www.trillian.im, to provide a more user-friendly experience.
I don't use AIM for that reason. Just another AOL marketing tool
that happens to have instant messenger functionailty. I actually
prefer MSN messenger as an instant messenger because of the lack of
advertising and the way it identifies you (by email address, not by
some 'unique' screen name like 'ILikeToTakePictures32683" or
something).
Trillian, the popular instant messaging client, has reached version 5 after a lengthy beta program. Developed by Cerulean Studios, the software has been around since late 2002 as an alternative to Windows Live Messenger and also incorporates several other IM protocols such as Google Talk, Skype, Facebook Chat and more.
Trillian is a free chat & instant messaging app as well as a business and HIPAA compliant program. HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act as Trillian wants to keep its users updated with urgent messages at all times. The program also wants to limit the use of email chains and texting by creating secure chat rooms for groups of 3 or more. The social & communication program was developed by Cerulean Studios to offer consumers with the same data protection as large enterprises.
The purpose of Trillian is to connect multiple instant messaging services into one platform. This will prevent you from running multiple clients at once, but will still be able to use all their features. You can create several connections in one service as well as put together these accounts under different identities to keep things organized. All your contacts, however, are found under one contact list. This will come in handy for accessing one contact person on several applications.
Trillian Password Recovery additionally includes an universal password recovery tool: Asterisk Password. It enables you to view passwords hidden behind the asterisk characters in password fields of many instant messengers, not only for Trillian.

An open-source systems client that runs on both Windows and Linux, Pidgin supports the largest amounts of services out of all of the instant messaging clients, has plenty of useful plug-ins and can be tweaked and modified in endless amounts of ways since the source code is open.

The interface of pidgin is a bit simpler, however with a bit of tweaking it is possible to modify it quite heavily. Here is an example of the default UI within pidgin:
Messaging within pidgin has a similar visual appearance, however can be tweaked quite easily as well. Information shown like previous chat logs and timestamps are available options, to me however this is where pidgin fall short compared to trillian; the UI is just too clunky and in many instances takes a considerable amount of tweaking to adjust.
The makers of Trillian, a popular desktop instant-messaging client, say their iPhone app is stuck in limbo with Apple's App Store reviewers. The developers submitted the Trillian app two months ago and have not received notice of approval or rejection.
I'm reluctantly using MSN at the moment. I used to be ICQ-exclusive... But ever since the Microsoft OS-packages started shipping with MSN messenger, Iv'e been stuck using it, as noone I know (except two or three people) use ICQ
Developed by a former Israeli intelligence officer, Viber is another widely used free Trillian alternative. The instant messenger and voice over internet protocol application recently joined the one billion user club, of whom 260 million are active monthly.
From stronger security protocols to enhanced control, there are many benefits of instant messaging in the workplace. Take your team communication and collaboration to the next level with these Trillian alternatives for business.
If you are a Trillian instant messenger client ( multiprotocol instant messaging application for Windows) user and you have set it to verify your instant messengers (IM) login data automatically, then your Trillian will log in to your IM accounts automatically each time you run it.
Atomic Trillian Password Recovery is an instant and 100% correct recovery program regardless of password length. All versions of Trillian and multilingual password are supported (both Trillian Basic and Trillian Pro versions)
Advanced Instant Messengers Password Recovery instantly retrieves the login and password information protecting user accounts in various instant messengers. Currently supporting over 70 different instant messengers, Advanced Instant Messengers Password Recovery is undoubtedly the most universal product in its class. If there is more than one account in the system, Advanced Instant Messengers Password Recovery recovers all passwords.
A few modern instant messengers, such as ICQ version 6 and higher, Yahoo! IM version 7.5 and up, and all versions of Skype, never store password information anywhere. Instead, they perform a one-way transformation of a password, creating a secure hash that is used to authenticate users with IM servers.
Once Yahoo Messenger was discontinued I had to find a program that worked similarly like it as this was what we used as a form of communication within our Law Firm. The layout was pretty much like messenger and it was easy to navigate. It is simple and easy to use. We like that we can attach photos, docs and notifications are on point. I receive them on my computer as well as on my phone.
Here's a program that is unique. Trillian. When Yahoo Messenger went down and closed, someone told me about trillian and I downloaded to see what it would do. And I got to be honest, they should of made trillian over yahoo millions of years back because trillian is all in one best chat service around. I was impressed with the chat quality and the features of the program like emoticons, chatting, you can send pictures to your friends and family. I am so glad yahoo is gone because of spam bots and have never ran into that with trillian and im so glad to still be a member, and able to talk to my friends.
the screen shot option is a life saver. as well as the new instant messenger to sms feature. I was able to use my landline to send text messages. I work in a location that has no reception so this allows me to text customers/coworkers without having any reception.
Our communication has improved, we were previously using walkie talkies, which while helpful, became distracting. Trillian is a more subtle way of communicating during clinic. Unfortunately, with this trillian is sometimes not noticed immediately by the user and so a way to distinguish urgency would be incredibly useful.
Depending on what you use your instant messenger for, you may want to limit what you log here. This creates a plain text file on your hard drive containing all your chats. This is stored under your Windows profile but can be read by anyone who has access.
