Features

Connection to multiple IM services

Trillian connects to multiple instant messaging services without the need of running multiple clients. Users can create multiple connections to the same service, and can also group connections under separate identities to prevent confusion. All contacts are gathered under the same contact list. Contacts are not bound to their own IM service groups, and can be dragged and dropped freely.

Trillian represents each client with a different-colored sphere. Prior versions used the corporate logos for each service, but these were removed to avoid copyright issues, although some skins still use the original icons for the mediums. The decision of colors were compared to subway lines in London Underground by the designer of Trillian.^[1] Trillian MSN Globe File links The following pages link to this file: Trillian (instant messenger) ...

Metacontact

To eliminate duplicates and simplify the structure of the contact list, users of Trillian Pro can 'bundle' multiple contacts of the same person into one entry in the contact list, using the Metacontact feature. Subcontacts will appear under the metacontact as small icons aligned in a manner of a tree.

Activity history

Trillian Basic and Pro both come with Activity History, and both log the history as both plain text files and as XML-files. Pro has a History Manager which shows the chat history and allows the user to add bookmarks for revision later on. XML-based history makes the log easy to manipulate, searchable and extendable for future functions.^[2] Trillian Activity History This is a screenshot of copyrighted computer software. ...

Time travel

Trillian Pro also has a "time travelling" feature, allowing the user to record, and subsequently review, pause, rewind and fast forward live video and audio sessions.^[3]

Instant lookup

Starting with version 3.0 in both the Basic and Pro suites, Trillian makes use of the English version of the Wikipedia free online encyclopedia for real-time referencing using its database of free knowledge. The feature is employed directly within a conversation window of a user. When one or more words are entered (by either user), Trillian checks all words against a database file and if a match is found, the word appears with a dotted green underline. When the user points their mouse over the word, the corresponding article is downloaded from Wikipedia and displayed on screen as a tooltip. When the user clicks on the underlined word, they are given the choice to visit the article online. The tooltips displayed within Trillian are often shorter, more condensed versions of the articles on the website itself.

Emotiblips

Emotiblips™ are the video equivalent of an emoticon. During video sessions, the user may stream a song or video to the other user in real time. One can send MP3s, WAVs, WMVs, and MPGs with this feature. QuickTime MOV files as Emotiblips are not currently supported.

Hidden smileys

In version 2.0 to the current, the default emoticon set contains emoticons that don't appear in the menu but can be used in conversations. Some of these are animations that can only be appreciated in Trillian Pro, but all of them can be used regardless. The idea of codifying emotional content in written or message form is not new. ...

Skins and interfaces

Trillian has its own unique skinning engine known as SkinXML. Many skins have been developed for Trillian and they can be downloaded from the official skins gallery or deviantArt. The tone or style of this article or section may not be appropriate for Wikipedia. ...

The upcoming Trillian Astra will feature a brand new design for the front-end UI, to be called Trillian Cordonata.

Plugins

Trillian is a closed-source application, but the Pro version can be extended by plugins. Plugins by Cerulean Studios itself include spell-check, weather monitor, a mini-browser (for viewing AIM profiles), Winamp song title scroller, stock exchange monitor, RSS feedreader, and conversation capabilities for the Logitech G15 keyboard, as well as a plugin for the Jabber and Bonjour networks. Others have developed various plugins, such as a games plugin which can be used to play chess and checkers, a protocol plugin to send NetBIOS messages through Trillian, a plugin to interact with Lotus Sametime clients, a plugin to interact with Microsoft Exchange, a POP3 and IMAP email checker, or an automatic translator for many European languages to and from English.

History

Early beginnings

After several internal builds, the first ever public release of Trillian, version 0.50, was available on July 1, 2000, and was designed to be an IRC client. The release was deemed 'too buggy' and was immediately pulled off the shelf and replaced by a new version 0.51 on the same day. It featured a simple Connection Manager and skinned windows. is the 182nd day of the year (183rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2000 (MM) was a leap year starting on Saturday (link will display full 2000 Gregorian calendar). ...

A month later, two minor builds were released with additional IRC features and bug fixes. Despite these efforts, Trillian was not popular, as reflected in the number of downloads from CNET's Download.com.^{[citation needed]}

Introduction of interoperability

Version 0.6, released November 29, 2000, represented a major change in the direction of development, when the client became capable of connecting to AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ and MSN Messenger simultaneously in one window. is the 333rd day of the year (334th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2000 (MM) was a leap year starting on Saturday (link will display full 2000 Gregorian calendar). ...

Although similar products, such as Jabber, Odigo and Imici, already existed, Trillian was novel in the way that it distinguished contacts from different IM services clearly on the contact list, and it did not require registration of a proprietary account. It also did not lose connection easily like the other clients.^{[citation needed]} Official logo of the Jabber Software Foundation Jabber is a collection of open, real-time communication technologies built on the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). ...

A month later, Yahoo! Messenger support was introduced in Trillian 0.61, and it also featured a holiday skin for Christmas. Meanwhile, the Trillian community forums were opened to the public.

During this period, new versions were released frequently, attracting many enthusiasts to the community. Skinning activity boomed and fan sites were created. A skinning contest was held on deviantArt in Summer, and the winner was selected to design the default skin for the next version of Trillian. Trillian hit 100,000 downloads on August 14, 2001.

Entry into mainstream and the "IM Wars"

Contrary to the anticipation for version "0.64" in the community, the next version of Trillian was numbered 0.70. It was released December 5, 2001. Development took 5 months, considerably longer than previous builds. Image File history File links Trillian_Cordillera. ...

Year 2001 (MMI) was a common year starting on Monday (link displays the 2001 Gregorian calendar). ...

The new version implemented file transfer in all IM services, a feature most requested by the community at the time. It also represented a number of skin language changes. It used the contact list as the main window (as opposed to a status window 'container' in previous versions) and featured a brand new default skin, Trillian Cordillera, and an emoticon set boasting over 100 emoticons, setting a record apart from other messengers available at that time.

Version 0.71 was released on the December 18, 2001. It supported AIM group chats and was the first major IM client which included the ability to encrypt messages with SecureIM. is the 352nd day of the year (353rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

In the following months, the number of downloads of Trillian surged, reaching 1 million on 27 January 2002, and 5 million within 6 months. Trillian received coverage and favorable reviews from mainstream media worldwide, particularly by CNET, Wired Magazine and BetaNews.

Trillian remained the center of attention in IM in the media for the rest of year. AOL became aware that Trillian users were able to chat with their AIM buddies without having to download the AIM client. Version 0.72 was released on January 29, 2002, and it began to suffer connection problems to AIM.^[4] January 29 is the 29th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... Also see: 2002 (number). ...

AOL blocked SecureIM access from Trillian clients. Cerulean appeared to have circumvented the block with version 0.721 of its client software, released one day later. The "AOL War" continued for the next couple weeks, with Cerulean releasing subsequent patches 0.722, 0.723 and 0.724. Trillian garnered a lot of media attention as a result, and its developers were praised by its community for their efficiency.

Trillian appeared in the Jupiter Media Metrix Internet audience ratings in February 2002 with 344,000 unique users, and grew to 610,000 by April 2002. While those numbers are very small compared to the major IM networks, Jupiter said Trillian consistently ranks highest according to the number of average minutes spent per month.^[5] comScore is an internet marketing research company that provides marketing data and services to many of the internets largest businesses [1]. comScore tracks all internet data on its surveyed computers, giving it a great deal of insight into online behavior. ...

Commercialization with Trillian Pro

On September 9, 2002 a commercial version, Trillian Pro 1.0, was released concurrently with Trillian Basic 0.74. The commercial version was sold for $25 USD for a year of subscription, but all those who donated to the development of Trillian before were eligible to a year of subscription at no cost. is the 252nd day of the year (253rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

It appeared Trillian Pro would be marketed to corporate clients looking to keep in touch with suppliers or customers via a secured, interoperable IM network, and a relatively stern user interface. The company had no venture capital backing, and had depended entirely on donations from users to stay alive.

Trillian Pro 1.0 was nominated and picked among three other nominees as the Best Internet Communication shareware in its debut year of being a "try before you buy" shareware.^[6]

Trillian Pro 2.0

Trillian Pro 2.0 was released September 9, 2003 to lukewarm reviews. Many supporters had lost interest as a result of the increasingly long development cycles and lack of communication between developers and users, and moved on to other, open-source software such as Miranda IM and Gaim. is the 252nd day of the year (253rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Blockages from Yahoo! and cooperation with Gaim

A few weeks later, Yahoo! attempted to block Trillian from connecting to its service^[8] in their "efforts to implement preventative measures to protect our users from potential spammers." A few patches were released to address the issue. â€œYahooâ€ redirects here. ...

In a surprising move, the Trillian developers assisted its open-source Linux rival Gaim in solving the Yahoo! connection issues. Sean Egan, the developer of Gaim, posted in its site, "Our friends over at Cerulean Studios managed to break my speed record at cracking Yahoo! authentication schemes with an impressive feat of hackery. They sent it over and here it is in Gaim 0.70." (what exactly was sent over isn't clear).

Meanwhile, as Microsoft forced its users to upgrade to MSN Messenger 5.0 for upgrades in their servers for security issues,^[10] October 15, 2003 also would mark the deadline for Trillian support for MSN Messenger.

On March 7, 2004 and June 23, 2004, Yahoo! changed its instant messaging language again to prevent third-party services, such as Trillian, from accessing its service.

"We believe this goal aligns Trillian perfectly with Google Pack."^[14]

The inclusion of Trillian in Google Pack was perplexing to some media analysts as Google has its own Google Talk service, which touts the benefits of an open IM system and the free Trillian Basic client cannot be used with Google Talk. Trillian Pro is also included as one of the "client choices" in Google Talk's client choices list.^[15] Google Talk is a computer application for Voice over IP and instant messaging, offered by Google. ...
