Although this isn’t recent news, it might be helpful for those of you who aren’t familiar with it. Trillian Astra from Cerulean Studios is a very cool IM application. It allows connections on AIM, ICQ, Windows Live Messenger, GTalk, Yahoo, Facebook, Jabber, and their own new protocol, Astra Chat. You can also get updates from Facebook and Twitter too. Plus, it keeps tabs on your emails and alerts you to new emails. All around an extremely powerful application and very lightweight. Currently it is only available in Beta form on PC and Web (Yes, that’s right, you can login from anywhere you have internet and a web browser and chat with people!), although they are currently working on a Mac version as well as a version for the iPhone.
