Some days ago I posted through SocialScope that Trillian saved my life. In case you were worried or wondering, no my situation wasn’t life threatening. My reaction to the app was just that great. Let’s rationalize and rephrase what I said the other night. Let’s take out life and substitute it for night. Trillian definitely saved my night a few days ago. As I was going back and forth with that special someone on BBM, I noticed the infamous lil checkmark was lingering. Nothing was going through, and all communication was lost. I refreshed SocialScope, and saw that my boo update that her BlackBerry broke. I then replied to her Facebook post and told her to get on Fb chat. I quickly dashed to my downloads folder, moved Trillian to Home, and thats when my night was saved. Within a matter of seconds, I had multiple chat clients added and connected.
I was amazed at how fast I was up and running. Along with fast connectivity, the smooth UI makes the App that much more interesting. After about 10 minutes of usage, my mind was made up that we had to get this chat client reviewed. I’m sure you have heard of Im+, Beejive and even Meebo, but IMO Trillian just out performs them all. After using the app, both Donta and I decided Trillian deserved a good review. It has everything you could ask for in an app. Multiple account support and login screen for accounts, Email push notifications, All password transmissions are encrypted. The Liaison has titled his video ,’Top Notch BlackBerry Social Networking.’ Trillian is not just an app to kill time, it can definitely enhance productivity, and much much more.
