Web Based IM with Meebo

Jan 12, 2006 tools suggest edit

Can’t use your favorite IM tool because of a pesky firewall at your place of work? Kyle points me to this web app, Meebo which appears to be in the alpha phase, but worked fine for me. It allows you to sign in to one of several popular IM services and use a rich web-based client.

So if your worksite allows you to browse the web, you can also chat.

Here’s a screenshot of a section of the login page.

According to the site, passwords are encrypted with 1024-bit RSA keys. Below is a screenshot of a Yahoo Messenger session. Notice the nice transparent effects when highlighting a profile.

really old news dude...

How old?

Is old news necessarily bad news? And, anyway who comments on a blog when they already know something? If that's the case most people would have to spend all their time online tagging up a bunch of blogs, telling bloggers that their sites are stale. Of course, if you don't know much, then this doesn't take very long. I can only assume that Mr. anonymous (is that French?) is of the latter persuasion.

It's at least a few months old, probably older. Definitely cool though.

2. http://www.imunitive.com
(alternatives- http://www.imunitive.co.uk )
3. http://www.imhaha.com
- supports QQ as a bonus-( alternatives-
http://www.imhaha.net)
4. http://www.e-buddy.com
(alternatives - http://www.e-buddy.us)
5. http://www.koolim.com (strong newcomer) -(alternatives- http://www.koolim.us)
6. http://www.goowy.com - ( alternatives-http://www.goo... , http://www.goowy.info ,

7. http://www.mabber.com ( alternatives-http://www.mab... )

Mark • February 15th, 2007
I am 16 and i am in sixth form and our school network is horrible. They block everything. And things that arn't blocked by school are blocked by our local council. Its so annoying. Even this Meebo won't work. Someone in sixth form got mozilla firefox on the computers which doesn't have the school blocker on but still has the county council one on. So does laptops. I use my laptop at school and i have got it connected to the wireless internet in school and it still has the stupid council blocker on. Its so annoying. We can't do anything.

TonyStar • October 3rd, 2007
I believe the reason why the other sites are blocked at school because the websense category "Instant Messaging" is filtered.
So, anything that has a category of IMs is blocked!
aimee • October 9th, 2007
At the school I attend we have a program on our computer that is able to watch what we do inside and out of school.
Meebo was working for me for a while because I had a proxy for it, but now it says page can not be displayed.
It did this last year too and over the summer was fixed.
I know multiple websites, but either the can not be displayed page pops up or it is blocked.
They seem to be getting blocked because other people see we are on them and then they tell their friends and it gets around.
So, they become blocked.
So, I'd highly advise if you do find a site that works, to not tell a lot of people. For it will be blocked a lot faster that way.
Jase • October 16th, 2007
i agree with aimee, the only one that works for me is
https://wwwm.meebo.com/
dont leak it plz
it may not connect for some people but its still another site
