Trillian fixed the bug and Skype


Tags :


Our friends at Trillian came through with a beta 1 patch for Trillian Pro 2.0

Yahoo Patch Beta 1 is available for Pro customers; patches for 1.0 and .74 are on the way and will be released once the patch is 100%...

This allows Yahoo to log back in and stop giving bizarre errors on passwords being incorrect.  All this comes after Yahoo decided to redo their protocol to stop third party products from logging into their system.  So much for that theory.  I figured it wouldn't take long to rework the clients.

Today I spent some time working with Skype, the nice VOIP product.  I must say I was incredibly impressed with the quality.  For now it is free but I can see the revenue model starting to form as they get more and more signed up.  There was reportedly 51,000 users on-line.  That makes for some nice $$ when they start charging since there is no spyware built into it for now.  I talked to a couple of the other bloggers while testing it and found it pretty easy to use with nice big icon buttons.  It seemed to find it's way through firewalls and proxies on it's own.
