If this posting doesn't just make you jump for joy, I'm not sure what will. It's no secret that instant messenger applications are incredible tools for Virtual Assistants. Often more efficient and convenient than a phone call or an email message, they really are handy applications- all one million of them.
That's the problem. There are many different IM programs, and it seems that each client prefers a different one. Rather than do something as unprofessional as attempt to dictate what our clients use, we begin to "collect" IM accounts from different applications and diligently log into each one every day. Hey, it comes with the territory, right?
To add to it all, you have to remember who uses which IM application. In the interest of efficiency, it's best not to have a 5 minute search, hopping from application to application, preceding each IM session that you need to initiate.
That must be why the great folks at Cerulean Studios have developed Trillian, a wonderful program that offers full feature support for all of your favorite IM applications.
Yahoo? You bet.
MSM? Most definitely.
AIM? Absolutely.
ICQ? I'll say!
And then some.
It's great. Trillian will manage all of your instant messenger applications, giving you one simple place to find your contacts and actually use the IM applications themselves. They have a FREE basic version, which is absolutely incredible, or you can pay a very small fee and upgrade to their premium package. Either way, what a deal!
