Instant messaging in browser to all popular IM accounts

Meebo is a free web service that enables instant messaging through a browser. It supports 9 different Instant Messaging services such as Yahoo Messenger, AIM, ICQ, Google Chat, MSN, Facebook, Jabber, MySpace, etc. You can access any of your Instant Messaging accounts through Meebo and that also through your browser. So, you can connect with all your friends from anywhere and chat. You don’t have to install any software and need only a computer with Internet connection and a browser. Moreover, Meebo is absolutely free.

Meebo supports most of the IM features, such as video conference, transfer files, playing games, audio calls, chat logs and group chats. It also supports features such as invisible sign in so as to prevent others from knowing when you sign in.

For using Meebo – you have two options:

• You can simply visit Meebo site in your browser and type your user name and password for the Instant Messaging network of your choice on the Meebo site. And, then start chatting right from the browser. No need to start the IM software. Moreover, for this option, you don’t even have to register with Meebo. Just use any of the IM networks on the Meebo site itself.
• You can register with Meebo for a free account. And, you’ll get the advantage of having to sign in only once to access all your IM accounts, right from your browser.

Thus, Meebo supports cross-platform chat over several IM services without there being any need to install any software. If you are using Firefox browser, you can optionally download a plugin that can automatically perform the sign in the moment you start the Firefox. Moreover, it will also alert you with new messages and contacts. Just have a look at the Meebo interface:

Meebo also has separate versions for iPhone and Android mobile phones enabling you to run it from these devices as well.

If you are a chat-enthusiast, you’ll find Meebo quite useful and will perhaps soon forget your IM software.
