Trillian for U3 and Yahoo! Messenger.....

[poltr1]

A couple of months ago, I downloaded Trillian for U3 (version 3.11 basic). Last week, I started actually using it.

What I like about it:
- It's free (thank you Cerulean Studios!)
- I can use it for AIM (AOL), Yahoo!. MSN, ICQ, and IRC
- Relative ease of configuration
- It's portable; it goes where I go (if I remember to take the flash drive with me)

The only con I have so far is that I can't view video chatting, unless I upgrade to the Pro version for $25.

I also downloaded and installed Yahoo! Messenger. At least that will enable me to view webcam video. (I think.) I couldn't get it to connect for a couple of days, but I finally got it working.

If you'd like me to add you to your contacts list, drop me a line at poltr1 at livejournal dot com with your handle and name. BTW, I'm "poltr1" on Yahoo!

(In case you slip up and post your contact here, I'm screening the replies to this post.)

I do rather like Trillian. I ponied up for the Pro version without regret, as it also lets me do Jabber/XMPP -- which both gtalk and livejournal use.

I remember hearing some time ago that there was some sort of glitch with Trillian (I think the version was 3.0). I take it they've fixed it by now.
