Hahahaha, that's outrageous.
I added it to Wikipedia :)
That is ridiculous.
You can send stuff like 'uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ILo1v6Y7IB4' which will appear but will not be clickable, the other person will have to c+p.
Can someone tell me how this effects me?
Can I still post links via msn!?
not clickable linksQuote:

Microsoft are such losers. That's pathetic doing that.
Its because of the new TV they have released. They are trying to crush the competition by stopping you spreading videos of youtube.
You Wiki editing skills are crappy :PQuote:

This is just dictating what we can say in messenger IMO, what will be banned next? Yahoo and Google?
1) That's the first time I have edited Wikipedia so its a new experience for me.
2) I really couldn't be arsed typing all that =D.
3) Your edit is a bit better than mine haha.

Seriousley though, this is pathetic from MS, they are acting like children.
Links don't work on adium if using an MSN email. iChat and AIM, You can get msn contacts working on that? ;oQuote:

is it just me that can still send the links, without getting the message?
You can send the links, but it won't get through.
no it is getting through because me and my friend are just linking eachother to youtube videos
Although http://ebuddy.com is blocked :(
They seem to be working again.
Whens the ban taking place?
I can still send links :S
I was getting that error all day, I thought it was my Adium causing it. You have to put just "youtube.com" without the http:// or www for it to even send the message on Adium. Don't know about other messengers.
I can still send youtube links :S
Read the thread.Quote:

So are many companies, Apple for instance is a bigger anti-competitor company, you hear see it all the time in Tech. news sites :PQuote:

EDIT: Just read a few updates, I stick by what I said though :P
