Trillian 3.1 Debuts

26 Feb, 2005 at 1:02pm ET Article published in Tech

Cerulean Studios launches Trillian 3.1, the newest version of its all-in-one instant messaging client that works with the AOL, MSN, Yahoo, and ICQ public IM networks.

The new edition runs faster, claims Cerulean, during such chores as rendering icons and start-up, adds an undo feature to the text-entry box, allows users to edit AOL Profiles in HTML, and guarantees that contacts from multiple accounts aren’t accidentally merged.

27 Feb 2005 ~ 1:55am BLuKnight I can't say I was impressed with 3.0 or it's children. I've decided that 2.13 Pro does what I need it to do. Perhaps CS will clean up the app so it's not as buggy by 4.0... well, one can only hope.

It's a pitty really, it showed so much promise before 1.0. I think my main annoyance with it is that they added their own version of Webcam and Audio with use of MSN instead of becoming compatible with MSN's webcam abilities.
27 Feb 2005 ~ 2:13am Cyclonite They've made some mistakes with it, and hopefully they'll clear it up. But, I still love Trillian. It's so nice to not have 4 different IM programs running. It's kind of bloated at first, but after disabling all the stuff I don't use, it's pretty nice.
27 Feb 2005 ~ 11:02pm TheSmJ I don't know what sort of bugs you guys are talking about, as Trillian seems to work just fine for me...

I'm not happy.
2 Mar 2005 ~ 1:17pm FAH_WW Currently - I've got to use Trillian. Shame it doesn't connect to MSN any longer. Also, it does merge contact lists between Messenger accounts, which caused me no end of grief.

Not amused is putting it mildly, I'm going to have to switch accounts yet again
