meebo

I fiddled around with meebo tonight. It’s a web-based multi-client IM tool which allows logins to AIM, ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN, Jabber and Google Talk. Currently, we’re using Trillian at my library, which is great, but limited in that you have to be on a machine with the software installed to do an IM reference shift. More playing around with meebo tomorrow to test its functionality up against Trillian, I’ll post a more complete report once that’s done.

Later: I’ve pretty much been using meebo exclusively over the past 48 hours. I started off by doing a feature-feature comparison with Trillian and ended up with a wishlist of features that, I later discovered, are mostly all accounted for in this forum thread. So, in lieu of a long-winded (and probably unnecessary report), I will say two things:

• the service is in alpha testing at the moment. That’s right, alpha. Which means a couple of bugs, quirks, and inconsistent load times. Have patience.
• I’m definitely going to keep using it and look forward to the next release. It’s a super-well-documented service (a forum and a development blog), and if you take the time to keep up with posts & developments, it will be hard not to love it too.
