New Version of Trillian

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The new version of Trillian is out. If you don’t know what it is, you can read my review of the previous version here.

The new version addresses the biggest concerns I had, as far as adding the ability to do file transfers in the IM clients, which is a big plus!! Other big plusses include the ability to create a message history log, and integration with Yahoo! Mail. The new interface is very slick looking, although they do have a bunch of different skins for it, so you can really find the interface you like. It’s a tad bit less intuitive, at least to me, and the developers haven’t gotten a voice chat in it yet, but with all of the added features I still am going to totally recommend it to anyone wanting to use one program to communicate over different IM clients!

Oh and while you’re there, think about making a little donation to these fine folks for putting out such great freeware!

When I first read about G.ho.st the other day, the system admin part of me wondered if an on-line virtual computer could be the end of blocking IM, web-mail and social networking, because anyone with a little smarts could figure out to go to the VM, login, and use that to “browse” to all the…

Linked – Half of all Phishing Sites Now Have the Padlock

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I highly suggest checking to make sure this advice is not part of the training you’re giving your users. It really is outdated. “Maybe you were once advised to “look for the padlock” as a means of telling legitimate e-commerce sites from phishing or malware traps. Unfortunately, this has never been more useless advice. New…

Planning Ahead for a Presentation to RSS Newbies

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

So I’m scheduled to do a presentation next month to a group of fellow Litigation Support folks who are new to the idea of using RSS to keep track of the latest e-discovery blogs, and how to use other technologies like an RSS feed of “recommending reading” from those RSS feeds, or Wiki’s as knowledge…

Mr. Tweet and Unmet Expectations

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

I’m not exactly sure what I thought I was getting into when I decided to give Mr. Tweet a try. They advertise their service as “Who Should I Follow? – Mr. Tweet looks through your extended network to help you build effective relationships on Twitter.” To me, that meant they were going to check out…

Linked – Why Your Employees Are Still Your Greatest Security Risk

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

This doesn’t seem to be getting better. “According to this year’s Dell End-User Security Survey, a staggering 72 percent of employees are willing to share sensitive, confidential or regulated company information inappropriately. Those surveyed were not malicious but rather were just trying to do their jobs the best they could.” Clearly, we aren’t doing something right,…
