Yahoo! blocks Trillian
No more third party fun for IM users



Yahoo! has begun blocking Cerulean Studios' Trillian software from communicating with its own instant messaging software as part of its plan to limit third parties from piggybacking on its service.

On Thursday, some Trillian users began reporting an inability to communicate with their Yahoo! Messenger contacts. A Yahoo! spokeswoman on Friday morning confirmed that Trillian users' inability to access Yahoo! Messenger was the result of recent policies put in place by the web giant.

Yahoo! last week announced that it would require people who use older versions of Yahoo! Messenger to upgrade to more recent versions. Coinciding with the upgrade, Yahoo! said it would probably disable access to outside IM services such as Trillian. Yahoo! set a deadline of Wednesday for its forced upgrade and its intention to disconnect Trillian.

Yahoo! spokeswoman Mary Osako said: "If this has affected the way in which third parties interact with our service, it is merely a byproduct of our efforts to implement preventative measures to protect our users from potential spammers."

A notice posted on Trillian's website informed users about "an issue that may cause a crash or invalid password when trying to autoconnect to Yahoo!," the site read. Trillian users who reported the problem said they were unable to view their buddy lists when connecting to Yahoo!.

MICROSOFT


Microsoft is forcing people to upgrade to newer versions of its instant messenger application and is shutting its doors to third-party IM products such as Trillian. As of Oct. 15, users of Microsoft's free Web-based MSN Messenger and its Windows XP-based Windows Messenger will need to upgrade their software to a newer version or be shut out of the service, the software giant said Wednesday. MSN Messenger users will need to upgrade to version 5.0 of higher; Windows Messengers customers will need to upgrade to version 4.7.2009 or higher; and consumers with MSN Messenger for Mac OS X will have to use version 3.5 or higher. The last MSN Messenger to be released was version 6.
