Mac only: Trillian's stepped up its multi-protocol game significantly on the Mac platform, fixing a whole bunch of items missing or jaggy in the alpha release and adding Facebook and Twitter integration, Growl notifications, a better chat history layout, and more.

- List views of multiple sizes
- Growl notifications
- Chat history with viewer
- Twitter feeds
- Facebook news feeds
- MSN MPOP
- XMPP-based Facebook Chat
- Contact info card popups
- Avatar chooser
- Mac-specific keyboard shortcuts
- Sound and notification preferences
- Universal binary support, and
