AOL tests Triton IM software

[dubstylee]

From News.com: America Online has overhauled its instant messaging application to combine voice and text conversations with games and file- and photo-sharing.

Last week, the Internet company began testing an early-stage IM application, called Triton, which eventually will be the foundation of AOL Instant Messenger, or AIM. Among its innovations, Triton features a unified chat box with "tabs" for each new conversation and easy access to address book information.

The chat box includes tabs for mobile and text communications, photo- and file-sharing, and eventually will enable users strike up a chat via Internet video.

if it allows plugins, loads faster than trillian (trillian = slow), uses less resources then trillian, and has no spyware .. im on it.

I tried the beta, it still has ads :\
It works..... ok. A tad better than the current client I suppose.

I use TerraIM right now, it has everything I need (messaging, chat, profiles, fonts, away message, etc)

Since DeadAIM hasnt been update in what seems like a year, I might as well give this a try as long as logging is added, it sounds good to me.
