Has anyone here used trillion messaging  and if so how do you like it?

I have used it. It's good software. It cleverly links AIM, YM and MSN Messenger (and perhaps ICQ) in the same session. Just one program does it all.\n\nI do not use it anymore because I use AIM only, IF that.

Depending on how many users you have to support for this service you might be able to get a free chat server with client called Inbit Messenger. This product is totally incredible and I installed it for my company and have never looked back.\n\nIf for some reason your company doesn't qualify for the free version their pricing is very good. The best thing about this software is it runs on your LAN. All of your company proprietary data is safe within your Network borders. You can extend the service to outside of a firewall if you wish but I chose not to. This way, my users aren't wasting company time chatting with their friends and there is no security hole left open to my Network.\n\nCheck it out, you won't be disappointed!\n\nGood luck, happy day...\n\nUnc

Haven't noticed any real problems lately.  Had a hard time keeping MSN and ICQ connected a few weeks ago...but Yahoo's never been a problem.\n\nI didn't see anything on their forum either.

A lot of people have Hotmail but I dont know how many use MSN Messenger to chat.  I personally don't use MSN and neither does anyone I talk to.\n\nI know its more popular overseas.  The predominant "instant messenger" in the US would probably me AIM (AOL's version).

I have Yahoo, MSN, and Skype, but it really depends on what your friends use.  I think I use Yahoo most, I like the Voice feature.  I have also heard about something called Trillian - it enables IMing people who use different kinds of messengers without actually having all of them, too.

ur preaching 2 th quire.\n\nSorry. I have asked and answered this question several times myself, and just can't seem to wrap my mind around what some of the others are saying.\n\nI have heard that the prevalence of this so-called SMS language is because the young minds on this site (and others) are so thirsty for information that they cannot take time to properly phrase their Q's or A's. I cry "shenanigans." Anyone with a full QWERTY keyboard in front of them has no excuse. \n\nI've also heard that this is an "evolution" of the language, and that if "ppl" understand what is being written, what's the problem? I've got to say that I have a hard time parsing some of the gibberish I read here, so what's the response to that?\n\nWithout clear communication the system breaks down. It's as clear as that. We need more emphasis on clearly getting our thoughts across using the standards that we have agreed on (English spelling and grammar).\n\nI can't say it enough times: I agree, I agree, I agree.\n\nLoved the book, by the way. I even gave a copy to my Dad for Christmas. The sound of irony was deafening.

don't bother with it. use GAIM it has several different im protocols, like yahoo, msn, aim all in one nifty package.
356715
ummm, what protocol is it? MSN's? Yahoo's? Jabber's (the one that Google and several other uses)? or your own?\n\nFirst, study their protocols first then send packets of data etc according to the protocols. You can usually google the protocol specification.

No.\n\nCheck the terms of service/guidelines for your Messenger and the Messenger type you are sending to.  Both will preclude use of the service for sending advertisements.\n\nHere is a recent case from PC World:\nMan charged with sending more than 1.5 million unsolicited messages over instant messaging.  Paul Roberts, IDG News Service, Tuesday, February 22, 2005\nA New York man was arrested and charged with sending out unsolicited instant messages last week, marking the first known case of criminal action being taken against someone accused of sending "spim," or instant-messaging spam. \n\nComplete story http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,119758,00.asp\n\ndo a search on "im spam" or "spim" for more examples

You can, sometimes, if you know their service provider.\nFor example, if they are on Verizon, then:\nhttps://www.vtext.com/customer_site/jsp/messaging_lo.jsp\n\nMost providers have some mechanism for sending text messages to their subscribers from their website.

Yes! \n           Windows live messenger is far better... you need to check it out lots of more luxury... cool look highly customizable.

Right now I don't have any option to use the Yahoo! Messenger as it will not work right on my system. I am not sure why, but it just stops responding after a while. I removed it and cleaned out my regestry each time and then reinstalled the program only to have it happen again each time. So, I do not even have Yahoo! Messenger installed now. It is working just fine on my fiance's computer so it must be my computer and not the program. Odd, though, as it was working just fine. I know it isn't a bad file as I have cleaned out all orphaned and broken regestry keys, so go figure. \n\nAnyway, this is difficult to answer. Each have features the other doesn't which I wish would be combined into one. I really like the sealth settings on Yahoo! Messenger, yet the MSN Messenger has better web cam clarity than Yahoo! provides with the exact same web cam. I also like how MSN contacts, hotmail contacts and my Outlook contacts are all basically assesable together. I can put a calender reminder in hotmail, and get a reminder via MSN messenger, my Outlook, hotmail or all three if I like. I really like the new interface of both Yahoo! and the new hotmail, or MSN live mail. Yet, hotmail is much easier to integrate into Outlook if I so choose to do so than Yahoo! mail is. Yahoo mail is still integratable but there is much more headache than with MSN Live Mail. Now, I like the Yahoo! Smilies and Audibles as well as the backgrounds much more than MSNs. They are easier to share too than MSNs. I think if the features I like about Yahoo! and MSN were all put into one I would hang these up in a heartbeat and use the new intergrated one. Then again isn't that just a fact of life, that you never get everything you want in one place? LOL

I don't think there exist any legitimate mass-mailing program. Neither free, not paid. Even if they exists, they are a patent by the large firms.\n\nRegards\n(Siddharth Razdan)

Yahoo chat and Lycos chat use the same system, and it has a lot of people on there, in British rooms (e.g. there's often 50 people in the Birmingham room). It's free to use, and generally friendly - there's always the odd issue, but mostly pretty good, and there's enough people moving through that it isn't too cliquey.

uhh... aol instant messanger, yahoo instant messenger and other iming service is a great way

it's really personal preference, i have at least one with almost every IM service out there, that's why i use Gaim, it's a free and open-source IM client that works for every one of them out there, it has almost all features of every one of them and it's just one program so you don't have to have 10 of them open at once, it's outstanding.  i've had an icq account for almost 10 years now, 2 AIM accounts, 2 MSN accounts, 1 Yahoo, 1 google talk, and 1 standard Jabber, not to mention IRC servers i idle on, Gaim handles those too.  but when you can use something like Gaim there's really no reason you should limit yourself to one particular service.
