Yahoo! Blocks Trillian - Again

CNET: "Yahoo cites spam concerns in move to block the instant-messaging service and vows to continue effort if Trillian develops a work-around." I'm getting really tired of stories like these. Yahoo! is a smart internet company - can't they see a valid business model in developing an IM network that allows third parties to play with the endpoints? Personally I'd much rather take a nickle off of each transaction on an open network than chase dollars on a closed one. Posted to: Random Bytes

Obviously they aren't that smart or have no clue whatsoever. Since I use Trillian I just typically stop using that IM provider whatsoever. Doesn't bother me much. People who need to find me will find me on MSN and/or ICQ which both still work fine in Trillian. The only reason I switch to a native IM client is when I'm trying to use a feature that doesn't exist in Trillian (like audio or video). I recently loaded up the latest Yahoo client on one machine and is it ever a pig. In fact all of these IM clients are serious pigs. Trillian typically takes up half the memory/resources and CPU than any one IM client and its handling 3 for me.
