If it isn't enough to chat with friends from Google, MySpace IM, Skype, and Facebook, as well as AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, and IRC on Trillian't multinetwork IM app, you can comfortably count the app's deep hooks into Twitter and Facebook alerts and checking e-mail (both POP3 and IMAP varieties) as reasons for switching from your current messenger. Cerulean Studios is a software house based in Connecticut, United States, notable for developing Trillian, an instant messaging client. It was founded in May 1998 by Kevin Kurtz and Scott Werndorfer. They built a freeware multi-protocol IM program called Trillian. The first version of Trillian was released on July 1, 2000. On September 10, 2002, a commercial version, Trillian Pro, was added to the company's lineup. Cerulean has promised to continue to support and maintain a free version of Trillian, which will remain a closed-source application.
