And I still have yet to figure out how to go back further, so if I happen to be away for a few days I’m fucked. Unfortunately, no matter were I position the interface, the top tweet is always cut off. It shows the most recent tweets, with a “link” below to obtain ten more. How it works with Twitter isn’t much better. When the preteen accidentally closed the window for the chat I was in and I couldn’t get it back up, I began to wonder if Astra is really worth it. Then there was the problem with adding Skype contacts. My first issue was when I learned I had to run Skype alongside Astra, which kind of defeats the purpose of incorporating Skype within Astra. Unfortunately, that’s where the goodness ends. You can either simply change the color scheme or completely change the skin - you can even use older Trillian skins, if you have a favorite. Importing ICQ and AIM contacts was easy, as was setting up Twitter, Facebook, and adding Skype.
😛Īstra comes with its own chat client, which you have to set up before you can add the others. After that you have to cough up $25 ($10 if you have Trillian Pro) if you wish to continue using it for web based IMs. In addition to the traditional chat clients Trillian worked with, Astra can now incorporate Facebook, Twitter, and Skype - at least for 30 days. However I did accidentally learn about Trillian Astra, which does. Being the type who wants to keep as much as I can in one place (it’s the ADD) I checked to see if the most recent update came with the ability to incorporate Skype. A couple of days ago, however, someone asked me if I used Skype. In fact, each time I did run it I’d have to update it - and Trillian doesn’t do many updates. Over the years many have found other networks to expose themselves on *laughs* and Trillian has been rarely used. Trillian helped me keep tabs on both camps.
I know that I started using it back in the days of the Oliverettes, when some of us where on ICQ and others were on AIM. I have forgotten how long ago I began using Trillian.
