[YouTube-API] IMPORTANT: Upcoming ClientLogin failures for unlinked YouTube accounts

Hello,

I wanted to direct everyone's attention to a recent blog post,
"ClientLogin #FAIL":

http://apiblog.youtube.com/2011/03/clientlogin-fail.html

The post covers a variety of issues that come up when using
ClientLogin, and makes one important announcement ("Scenario 1" in the
post) that I wanted to reiterate separately so that no one misses it.

Starting towards the end of April, attempts to use ClientLogin
authentication with a YouTube account that is not linked to a Google
Account will start failing. Once this change is in place, linking a
Google Account to an existing YouTube account is the only way to
continue using that YouTube account to authenticate with the YouTube
API.

There is more background on YouTube/Google account linking in this
blog post:

Please don't let this change catch you or your users off guard!

Cheers,
-Jeff Posnick, YouTube API Team
