Trillian Password And All

Multi-protocol chat client Trillian follows up its resurgence last year with a long-rumored Mac version.

Trillian for Mac is an unstable alpha, lacking many of the features that make Trillian Astra appealing on Windows, but even so it offers users a good idea of whats to come from Cerulean Studios.

This build isnt really ready yet to compete with the popular Adium, but cross-platform users will appreciate that the contact sync works.

Trillian Password And All

Enter in your Trillian username and password and all of your other instant messaging accounts will be imported, including passwords.

Basic IM functions are fine, with support for Trillians proprietary protocol Astra, as well as Windows Live, Yahoo, Facebook Chat, AIM, ICQ, XMPP, Google Talk, Bonjour, and MySpaceIM.

File transfers work, as do most Mac hot keys, iTunes tracking, thought bubbles above avatars during chats, and drag-and-drop.

Theres much thats missing, though, so dont expect to jump to Trillian right now.

Social network feeds dont work yet, nor do group conversations or e-mail support.

Growl support is also missing, and while you can see your friends avatars, personal avatars arent working yet.
