Thing # 21 -- Take a Look at Meebo

Description:

I do not want to ask you to create any more accounts on behalf of the Learning 2.0 programme, so with this "Thing" I just want you to explore Meebo a bit, find out what it does and maybe a bit about how it works. Whether you create an account or not is up to you.

Hints:

• Meebo actually is a way to help people get access to their instant messaging accounts, so you may have to have an (eg.) MSN account to use it properly.
• Think about all those times someone wanted help to download MSN for the public computers, and how this would have helped.
• Libraries have been experimenting with Meebo as away to provide chat reference to users of AIM, MSN, Yahoo! Messenger and etc. The main advantage is that all accounts can be handled through one interface.
