Got Meebo?


I have just discovered a wonderful service called Meebo. It's a new web 2.0 site that lets you chat with users using Google Talk, Yahoo, MSN, and AOL all at once (if you are that talented)! Until now, I have used Trillian on my desktop but when I switch between computers, I don't like to have to enter my ID info. into their chat clients or change someone else's computer. Another bummer is that Trillian can't sign in to Google Talk (that I am aware of anyway). So I still had to open two chat clients, Trillian and Google Talk. Since I have friends who use all these services, having a web-based client for all these services makes life great. While creating an account is not required, doing so allows you to save your login info. for all IM systems. While there are no voice, video, or group chat features yet, the application is in beta and shows great promise for growth. If you wish, you can just keep the window open (or mnimized) and go about your usual business until someone "dings" you. It's in beta but I haven't found any issues with it. Another great freebie for now! Check it out. Enjoy!!!
