The review for this day is
Trillian Instant messenger
[Update] Site:
Trillian.im
This is one of those "all in one messengers" that uses accounts from other instant messengers and some social networking sites so instead of haveing one program for each, you get one program for them all! It can support MSN, AIM, Skype, Facebook, Twitter and many more. With not only the text part of instant messaging you can also send pictures [the file itself or a version that can be opened via internet program], screenshots, and drawings. Don't worry I didn't forget to add that if your messenger can support calling or voice communications Trillian supports that too. They also sort each account separately so that your e-mails can be seen as how many new ones you have. Trillian also sorts your contacts by the provider or service and when they are offline it will be put into one big "Offline" section. For the social networking accounts it has it's own separate tab so you can see posts as they are being posted without having to be in your internet window. Also when ever someone is online or a post is made in say Facebook, it can be shown in a little message that can pop up on your screen. To save insanity if your a popular person or liked to many pages these notifications can be customized to only appear for a certain amount of time or to stack themselves together or even not show up at all. Also in the messenger itself you can program it to do certain things when something happens like if your away it can give people messages of when or how long you've been away as well as noises to when someone on a certain provider has logged in. Speaking of sounds, every sound and more can be customized to your hearts content.
Personal thoughts [Like I say, skip if you don't want to hear this]: I use this program because it saves memory, really I had over 6 IM systems and it took a toll on my hard drive [back when maxes were 40-80 GB, remember those days?]. It's convenient, it's small in size, it's sound and being able to check my e-mail with a double click instead of going through finding every site to check all my e-mails is a plus. Though one problem that doesn't bother me to badly but is something I believe they are working on for future updates is video support. Not a luck of it besides taking a picture of yourself with a webcam and sending it to the other person, no face to face chats. But what I've heard is video chats may soon be on the horizon but I might be imagining things again.
This is good for people who need multiple accounts to keep in touch with friends that seem to be stubborn to their account names on a certain provider. Definitely something to look into, I know there are others but I'll only check them if someone requests it.
