Yahoo! to Trillian: Talk to the Hand

Yahoo to Trillian: Talk to the Hand.

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.

As they should. They are Yahoo!’s users. I have always felt that Trillian was acting inappropriately in allowing people access to Yahoo!s network. Unless Yahoo! says yes, you shouldn’t do it. Start your own network. The sad thing is because of this piggy backing, Trillian may now big enough to start its own network and be relatively successful.
