Linked: “AOL will cut off older third-party app access to AIM”

via ArsTechnica:

On Tuesday, AOL (yes, it’s still around) suddenly announced to users of AOL Instant Messenger (including yours truly) that it would be disabling older, and less-secure access to its network through at least one third-party messaging app (Adium) as of March 28.

I logged into Trillian and Adium after reading this. It was a ghost town but I exported all of my conversation history to the NAS. Lots of fond memories. Thanks AIM for keeping me connected to all of my friends.
