Instant Messaging: Trillian (for Windows)GLAST Software recommends using the Trillian instant messaging (Trillian IM) service to facilitate rapid communication between members of the collaboration who use Windows. Trillian runs on 32-bit Windows platforms only; it features no banner ads, and will also talk to AIM, Yahoo, IRC and MSN chat systems. Contacts are maintained in an xml file. Note: If you are using a gnomish version of Linux or Unix, you can use Pidgin (formerly Gaim) which acts like ICQ (a pre-Trillian messaging tool). To download and install Trillian:

To login and use Trillian, you must first register for an ICQ number at http://web.icq.com/register/. The number will then be e-mailed to you. Note: Guilli Johannesson is also maintaining a list of icq numbers with access to gaim and Trillian formatted files. This list is useful for adding contacts.
