Perhaps I should have qualified the last post with 'Your milage may vary', but I stand by what I said. Y! is still a small network next to MSN and AIM, and can't hope to compete without either a killer application, or allowing interoperability. Embracing Jabber might give them the commercial edge they need. Instead, they try to block it. Was common sense outlawed while I wasn't looking?

What is wrong with Y!? I haven't bothered installing the Y!-t on my server because:
a) I don't know anyone who uses Y!
b) No one who uses my server has told me (and I have asked quite a few) that they know anyone who uses Y!
An IM network only survives because people can use it to talk to their friends. Since Y! has sucha a small user base, the only way they can compete is by interoperability. This makes no sense. Still, I suppose if they had sense, they'd be using Jabber :)
