(From John Beelerspace) I hope you're writing up something on AOL's blocking AIM through Trillian. I thought we had all grown up since Odigo and PowWow, but apparently not. I'd much rather see the two programmers at Trillian spend their time making the best IM program better – instead of playing cat and mouse with AOL engineers.
In fact, I don't think I'll ever go back to using AIM even if they do block Trillian “forever.” And besides, wasn't this the exact same business practices AOL's Netscape is accusing Microsoft of in class action lawsuit? How convenient (and sad) that Trillian lacks the IT resources to play this game with AOL either on a technical front or a legal one.
