Meeboo Chat on my Blog

Having to connect to various IM networks can be annoying, especially if you have friends that will only use X client. So , I downloaded the new MSN Live Messenger and it didnt work. I couldnt connect. I got annoyed, and then Jared told me about meebo.com which is a great way to just connect to all my accounts AND it just runs in the browser (which is cool for me, means I dont have to have unnecessary programs open). They just added the feature to add a chat pod on your own site, which I have done under the "Chat to MD" pod, this is a real neat feature (I know there have been a number of clients out there that do it) but its just a nice little Flash app. So if you do fancy a quick chat, just type your name and send me a message! EDIT: just remember that it might take me a couple of minutes to respond! The browser window that meebo runs in doesnt pop up for me... so it might take me a few seconds at least to notice you have sent me a message!

Hi, your link to meebo doesn't work as you've put the href attribute as http.

How you finding it though?

Hey Andy, well spotted, that was my "secret" html compliance test! you won! :)

Its ok.. although, since I dont have it open all the time, I missed your chat request!

I guess I should say for people to be patient with me :) Or for meebo to forward the messages to my GTalk or something?

Hey! was nice chating to you earlier on.
This tool is really cool. I read about it yesterday on Aral Balkan's blog but didn't see it working till today.
Any more thoughs about the meebo chat?

I think its a great little tool, the only problem for me is that I tend to work with the speakers off (still cant plug headphones into my MacBook Pro, c'mon Apple!!!) and I cant hear when people come and message me.

So I just have to be looking out for it.. or sound on low... some people have done some drive- by chattings :)
