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.
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.
For us Gen-X’ers it was the age old, “I don’t use MSN chat, I use ICQ, someone else uses Yahoo chat.” Pidgin helped in those days.
I’m old enough for Trillian, before Pidgin was usable.
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 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.
