Yahoo Blocks Trillian
Published June 25, 2004
Yahoo on Wednesday began blocking Cerulean Studios' Trillian software from communicating with its instant messaging service in its latest step to fence its popular client from third-party integrators.
I am interested in getting some reaction to this announcement by Yahoo. Also, if you are a Trillian user how much effect is this having on you?

Robert, you've got an open bold tag before the link to "Watch Right Internet Crimes Against Children."
Once fixed, this comment will make no sense whatsoever . . . :-)
Trillian already has a patch.
