Anyone try this yet? I am not a big fan of Trillian but it’s definitely got a different feel to it than the original AIM does. I think I like it as it’s definitely more modern. ---

I’m using it… i haven’t noticed any big advantages to it, but i haven’t been using it that long. The buddy list looks a lot more complicated then it needs to be. Everybody has a symbol infront of their names, half i don’t know what they mean. I prefer just the simple “away” icon/symbol. ---
