Meebo – Ajax to the limits – Web-based Instant Messenger

Posted on the November 2nd, 2005 under Uncategorized by Tohir

Reading through the excellent book, Ajax for Designers, I came across some information on a site called meebo.com, a web-based instant messenger.

Always keen to pick up tips and patterns, I hopped over to see what the fuss was all about, and how they are using Ajax.

Now I doubt they’ll share their source code, but it’s good news particularly for office staff. They have created an Ajax-driven web based instant messenger that connects to AOL, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN and Gmail/Jabber.

So when your company does not allow you to install instant messenging software, you can always use this site. Probably useful in Internet Cafes as well.
