Trillian Pro: Instant Messaging on Overdrive
It becomes more apparent to me every day, just what a geek I can be. For instance, I’m on AIM�, MSN�, ICQ�, Yahoo!� instant messaging, and instead of having each individual software open at the same time, I’ve downloaded Trillian Basic a FREE software that allows you to connect to all major chat networks using just one software.
That’s until I had the pleasure of chatting a bit with the infamous Michel Fortin a.k.a. The Success Doctor (the dude who wrote the 16 page web copy for Join Reese’s Traffic Secrets course), a few days ago, and he told me about Trillian Pro. Little did I know, my world of text-speak was about to take a turn in a whole new direction.
You won’t believe the huge collection of plugins available for this software! I mean, now, I use Trillian Pro for RSS feed updates, check incoming e-mail, maintain my todo list, easy access to my clients’ timezones, listen to my mp3 playlists, and get this… it even has a translator! If you type in Japanese, my messages to you would be translated into Japanese and your messages to me will be translated to English!
There’s lots more that I haven’t downloaded… like checking GMail, watching stocks, weather, IM from any web browser… oh, it supports IRC and Jabber too.
I’m still finishing up my InternetMarketingSupport.net membership site overhaul, so, I’ll look into more plugins when I have more time.
I thought the free version was DA BOMB, but, I totally love Trillian Pro! I’m seriously excited about this thing, and thanks to Michel, I’m one step closer to the “Geek Goddess” crown

Trillian has been around a very long time. I used to use it but unless the other party is also using trillian, they get messages that they can NOT see your smilies, images, and repeated invitations to download trillian. I finally deleted it. There is another trillian-like program called Zango or Zanga which does all the same as well. My advice is DO NOT download it, as it is full of ads that nearly take over your browser. I must say, I never had that problem with Trillian though. Glad you enjoy it.
Hi Dariana,
I’ve been using the free version for quite sometime, and never heard about any image issues from non-Trillian users I’m chatting with.
However, I use instant messaging for quick chats with colleagues and clients, so, I don’t use unusual smilies or exchange images. I wonder if that has something to do with it?
And thanks for the heads-up about the “Z” software! Sounds annoying!!
