I'm just hoping for something more like Jabber - but then, I guess, I can just use Jabber. :) Expecting developers to use keys is AOL's perogative - I'm just happy to see more openness, once I can get a better look at it.</p> Eh, no more wrongness than, say, Google’s API.

locked down with a developer key.

I haven’t read their documentation yet, but what’s your take on the wrongness of this? I mean, surely you can understand an API provider’s desire to track usage and defend their service from abuse. But is the developer key model nefarious in some way that I haven’t grokked yet?

It looks so far like Win32 specific building blocks locked down with a developer key.
