      Damn, those are some words I haven’t seen in a very long time, wow… Trillian.

      “I can finally make the vague emo song lyrics in my AIM profile look even cooler.

      I paid for a Trillian license back in the day it made my life so much better. All my school friends were AIM, sports friends MSN, church friends mostly in Yahoo, internet friends on a mix. Trillian was an amazing find for me.

        I didn’t even realize you could pay for it, pretty sure I had a pirated copy.

        I also used it for talking to friends from church, but I guess I had an older brother who taught me the ways of “warez” lol

      Oh man, I totally forgot about Trillian. The days where everything was heading towards XMPP then it all exploded away from it again.

        XMPP did it to itself, it left stuff like file transfers, audio/video calls, custom emojis, all undefined in the standard and left for the clients to create their own extensions… which they made, incompatible between each other.
