New Browser-Based Trillian IM

March 11th, 2007  |  Published in IM  |  3 Comments

Trillian_1
The popular universal instant-messaging client, Trillian is about to go online. "Astra" is the upcoming web-based version of Trillian. However, unlike competitor meebo, Astra will not require a web browser to run after the initial log in. Instead the flash-based app floats on the desktop, like the pop-out meebo window does, but the browser window can be closed without closing the Trillian Astra app itself. The app can even dock itself in the system tray, like a real software application can. Available for both PCs and Macs, Astra will integrate multiple online accounts, including myspace IM and real GoogleTalk (not GT via Jabber). It seems to me that Astra is another step towards that web OS…eventually, the only thing we will need a PC for is to load up a browser, which is where we will have access to all the software we need. (GoogleOS, I’m ready when you are!)

    I’ve been a paying customer for Trillian Pro for the last few years because I love what it does so much (well, when bugs don’t get in the way of simple tasks). I’ve been looking forward to Astra since… Oh, last year :p
