Don't let the small version update from Trillian 4.0 to Trillian Astra 4.1 for Windows fool you. Though the version may have bumped up one tiny integer, there are enough changes to this venerable multinetwork chat app to make it worth your notice; particularly if you're into social networking.
Trillian's maker, Cerulean Studios, has tightened the app's integration with Twitter, making it possible to now tweet from the buddy list. They've inserted a character counter so you can gauge how much space you have left to reach Twitter's 140 limit. Our favorite of the new additions is Trillian's integration with the Twitpic photo-tweeting service. Drag or copy an image into the Twitter field to automatically include the picture in your tweet. You can also follow searches and follow new Twitter users from within Trillian
As with Twitter, Trillian 4.1 draws e-mail closer. It lets you preview e-mail messages before opening them and you can mark a message read or as spam and delete it right from a context menu.
