Trillian Basic and MSN Messenger

I’ve been getting emails from buddies who use MSN Messenger telling me that they never see me online any more. This is strange since I am online everyday and I could see some of them using Trillian Basic.
So, what gives? Why could I see them and they could not see me?
Turns out you need to open up the MSN Messenger application once in a while because you have to grant people the right to see you when your online. (I’ve been adding people to my buddy list directly through Trillian, not MSN Messenger or AOL and thats the mistake).
I had to reinstall MSN Messenger again but once I did and logged in there must have been 11 or 12 messages from friend waiting for me to approve them. Some messages were from guys I have not spoken to in 7 years or so.
So I went in and approved my peeps and before I knew it, I was getting tagged with IM’s from all over the world.
Its kind of like opening a can of worms… Once the flood of friend IM’s came in, it dawned on me how good I had it when it was quiet. ~ Just kidding ~

I hate Trillian!
I just discovered a great new tool: GMX Multimessenger (http://service.gmx.net/de/cgi/g.fcgi/products/messenger) - I know the site and tool is in german, but it´s a far better multimessenger then Trillian!
