Nimbuzz is a popular IM client for PC and Mobile. Nimbuzz posted in their official blog that they have removed the Skype support. Nimbuzz told that the folks at Skype asked them to remove their service.
Most of the readers were surprised by Skype decision and disappointed at the same time. For a lot of people Nimbuzz provided a stable connection to Skype and in some cases (i.e. Android and Symbian) it was the only way they could use their Skype account.
The same thing happens with Fring also. Skype is now removing its support for third party apps.

Yes, it’s true. Skype will no longer be accessible via Nimbuzz starting October 31, 2010. Why? Skype asked us to remove support for their service.
Skype’s decision to ask us to stop supporting their service seems to be part of a strategy to disconnect all open third party support.
Nimbuzz users can use NimbuzzOut instead of Skype.
