I couldn't believe "meebo" wasn't in any posts when I searched the forum. In any case, it's a great replacement for your always-updating IM client -AND- a way around those workplaces that block IM apps. Well, unless they block meebo.com

There are countless uses for the widget...even to bug others while they try to work: meebo me
[edit]ha ha, the first one came and left...[/edit]

If you haven't found meebo yet (which I doubt), welcome. It's free. If you have, create a dt widget and post it up here.

Right then...I guess not.

kane · 25-09-2006, 15:23

Meebo ? Never heard of it

lol seems really cool though, i'm going to check it out soon.

dtrenz · 25-09-2006, 15:45

the name really bothers me.

i'm sick of web 2.0 being cute.

i'm gonna create a revolutionary AJAX-powered Ruby/Rails CMS that will connect people through collaborative filtering and wipe your ass for you at the same time.

i call it:

poopsybeta

Meebo is super-impressive. I haven't used it because I have GAIM, but if I were travelling and away from my computers (and had any real interest in IMing), I'd be all over it.

Agreed. Just not had any real reason to use it.

cocknose · 09-01-2007, 03:58

ha ha ha"IMing"!!!

pgo · 09-01-2007, 10:27

Uh...what else would you call it?

mgpwr · 11-01-2007, 08:50

at college, they have banned the access to certain webistes and all Im programs etc... however, meebo proved useful as its allowed on the network so yay

I just can't bring myself to enter my passwords into a site that isn't the one I generated the password for.

Get over it.

The people behind the scenes at Meebo are great folks. Just have a look around the forum. They take all user feedback seriously, try to implement the most popular requests, and even encourage you to visit them if you're ever in their area. I should be out in Cali sometime in 2007, and I plan to meet them. I can see Meebo getting noticed by some major VC players this year. They just keep making it better.

Where's the money in it though? For Meebo that is...

Perhaps they're just a fun-loving group of folks looking to get purchased by one of the "big boys"? There must be some financial backer(s) behind-the-scenes waiting for that big pay day.

Someone is paying, because they're hiring. Their jobs page is great:

If you're a software-engineer, just answer a few puzzles and you're hired.

The more I read (and now watch) about the company, the more I want to move out west and join them:

Seems a fun place to be...

meebo is awesome, I've been using it instead of AIM express(btw never use aim express, it's plagued with bugs), because I can't download AIM onto my moms work laptop due to security settings >_<
