Trillian Astra: Quite possibly the ultimate IM client.

Trillian is pretty famous for it’s useful client – named Trillian.  It’s portable, it’s useful, and it’s convenient – but it’s always seemed to be lacking that X-factor.  Trillian’s looking to resolve that with Astra – quite possibly the ultimate IM client.  By IM, I’m talking about Instant Messaging.

Although it looks promising, it’s still stuck in it’s Alpha stages – so undoubtedly, we’re going to have sit around for a while and wait for it to arrive.  Don’t worry, I think it’ll be well worth the wait.

Astra has a pretty dazzling blue GUI, which integrates a lot of popular chat clients into one program.  This means you can access your Yahoo! Messenger account while also chat with people through your Windows Live Passport.  This is not a new feature, but Astra seems to be taking it to the next level.

So sign up for the alpha (it’s public)!
