The AIM client opened itself with this message:<p><tt>AOL Instant Messenger: You have been disconnected from the AOL Instant Message Service (SM) for accessing the AOL network using unauthorized software. You can download a FREE, fully featured, and authorized client, here http://www.aol.com/aim/download2.html .</tt> </p> So, fellow Mefi readers, how long can AOL block Trillian? Shouldn't they be coming up with more innovative campaigns, or is this a sign that the IM market is about to become a lot more competitive? Tawk amongst yourselves. tag:metafilter.com,2002:site.14814 Fri, 15 Feb 2002 06:27:52 -0800 AIM IM InstantMessenger Trillian purplecow http://www.metafilter.com/3072/ <a href="http://www.workofstone.com/kfox/aoliza/">AOL + Eliza = AOLiza</a> Some amusing AOL IM conversations using the old Eliza program.
