Instant messaging is the most convenient means of communications on the internet today, filling an important niche between a phone call and e-mail; its fast, and not too intrusive. Users connect to a central server which allows real time message delivery to and from other users.

These messages will utilize graphics, text and even streaming video to make the IM experience stronger.However, there are more than four different major messaging media currently in widespread use, which separates everyone and complicates this convenient way of communication. Trillian is here to solve the problem, "instantly"!
