    Who has tried it?

    It was a large download, but I like alot of the new features, but it seems to be bloatware sort off... I dont like how they have started including AOL Explorer and all of that other bullshit along with it, but go figure its AOL lol...

    What do you guys think about it? I liked the Tabbed IM's and the away messages and stuff...

          i dont like it...one of the reasons ive stayed with AIM instead of going mainly MSN or anything else cause its not bloatware...i feel MSN especially has too many graphics and shit associated with it...i like the simplicity of the feel of aim...

          At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

            just more reason to stay with Trillian.

            haven't tried it, and actually havne't used any of the seperate programs (outside of MSN briefly) in years.

              I used to use Trillian but when you use trillian in combination with mobile versions of MSN and AIM it fucks up your buddylist, so I stopped using it.

              I did pay for Trillian Pro back in the day though...

              MSN 7.5 is nice I think... I actually pefer MSN to AIM, and have for a while...

                One thing I've noticed is it seems when your an AIM user and talking to an AOL user, the msg comes blank, you have to highlight what they typed to see what the typed out. I just use the old aim instead; however the tabbed features is pretty nice...
                I actually use the AOL explorer, from time to time, don't know why.. just cuz Unlike IE you can do tabs for webpages as well. Even though you can w/ Mozilla as well..
                But just the petty annoyance with AIM triniton is the fact that the AOL users msg's must show up in white or something; I'm sure there maybe a setting you can change to fix it; but I never looked into it. Any1 know what Im talking about as far as the white text goes?

                  as have i. i think it's more advanced then AIM in terms of features and shit. its kinda cool having a 10 person buddy window instead of makin a chat which is ghetto. plus hte handwrighting feature to is cool at times but the nudges and shit get annoying after 30 seconds.

                      oh? only accessed aim once on my E815.... didn't pay any attention to what it did on trillian (I was in MPLS at the time anyway)...

                      don't want to pay for the texts anyway, so I'll stay away from mobile IM...

                        i havent tried the new aim.. but if you like the tabbed windows, etc.. check out a program called aimutation. just a simple addon that gives you all sorts of new features.

                        works best with v5.2 though.

                          DeadAIM > Aimutation

                          Just dl the old version of deadaim off oldversion.com and you'll be set. Tabbed windows, talk while away (can do that in the newer version now though) and other stuff too.

                            I've noticed that if you get a little bit of text in your "history" when somebody IM's you, the program seems to lag out after you send a message...

                                  I used DeadAIM in combination with an older version of AIM. I've been enjoying tabbed IM windows for quite some time now, along with logging, and all sorts of other goodies.

                                      i still prefer aimutation over any other addon. i used to use nothing but deadaim.. but every once in a while it would uninstall itself. when it actually did work, i got sick of my away message always popping up in a convo window when someone sent me an IM. plus aimutation just has more features. but hey.. whatever floats yer boat.
