Here’s a little snippet of a Yahoo! Instant Messenger conversation I just had.. is YIM blocking Google URLs?? I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but.. this is just too weird… and, please no comments about me searching for a “prom dress”.. it’s one of our most popular searches on mySimon, so I use it a lot as a test case…

dennis: see the url i sent?
dennis: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=canon+g5
