After being off of IM for the last few weeks, I finally got around to re-installing Trillian. (I still had not installed it after my last hard drive crash.) I was happy to see a new version since I had been running my registered copy of Trillian Pro 2.x for the last few years.

The new version includes a Wikipedia feature. It will display the Wikipedia description when you mouse over certain works and phrases. But it's not perfect.

I mentioned a buddy of name Shawn Murphy. To my surprise there was a Wikipedia desription for have name. "Shawn Murphy (born July 27, 1951 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island) is a Canadian politician. Murphy is a current member of the Liberal Party of Canada in the Canadian House of Commons,..." I'm not sure way but I found this to be funny.

The Wikipedia feature is a neat idea, but I'm not sure how useful it will be for me.
