Trillian Coming On Strong
from the amazing-concepts dept
Trillian's IM program that lets people connect with all the major IM services (for the time being) is growing very rapidly, despite the companies small size and lack of marketing power. However, by simply doing what the big players refuse to do (interoperating), and thereby giving usrs exactly what they want, people are flocking to Trillian. It's amazing what giving your users what they want will do. The study also points out that Trillian users tend to spend more time on IM than any of the other major players. However, that could just be because the types of folks who have heard about Trillian are those of us who seem to spend a ridiculous amount of time online (not that there's anything wrong with that...).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
