Trillian Astra Pro is a fully featured, standalone, skinnable chat client that supports chatting on Windows Live, Yahoo!, MySpaceIM, AIM, Google, ICQ,Jabber, Skype, IRC, Facebook, Twitter and others. It also helps manage your social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. It provides capabilities notpossible with most original network clients, while supporting standard features such as audio chat, file transfers, group chats, chat rooms, plugins,buddy icons, multiple simultaneous connections to the same network, serverside contact importing, typing notification, direct connection, proxy support,encrypted messaging.
More than three years in the making, Trillian is back with a slight name change and a slew of new features. It’s keeping the betacodename Astra as part of its official title, but more importantly it’s been updated for the modern IM world. Skinnable but not modular, the chat clientnow supports Google, MySpace IM, Skype, and Facebook, as well as AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, and IRC. Both POP3 and IMAP email checking see some love here,too.
Trillian now has deep hooks into Facebook and Twitter. It will automatically shorten URLs in your tweets, as well as allow direct messages,retweets, and replies. Twitter Trends can show up in your contact list, and you can get tweets to appear in tooltip form. Facebook features include newsfeed integration, Facebook Inbox checking, and synchronized message updating in addition to Facebook IM. Just on these features alone, Trillian Astraoffers a bit more than its IM competitors.
Trillian Astra runs lighter than the previous version, too, and you’re less likely to notice system slowdownsbecause of Trillian memory leaks. Video chat gets basic support, as does universal draganddrop file transfer. The paid upgrade gives you browserbased IMfrom Trillian.im, fullscreen video and filters to colorize your vids, multiple simultaneous file transfer, and themes, as well as tech support. Thesefeatures are available for the first 30 days you use the free version, then they deactivate. The biggest changes, besides the reskinned interface, arethe longneeded performance improvements and support for a broad range of IM protocols. Longtime fans won’t be disappointed.
