I have just had a look at Meebo.com which I must confess I hadn't heard of before. This Web 2.0 site allows for instant messaging across all the major networks like My Space, Face Book, Google Talk, Windows Live Messager, Yahoo! etc, right from your own browser. Meebo provides a taskbar that you can customize to your requirements. You can also create your own chat rooms, which you can make public or private. The site seems quite user friendly and easy to use. There is a user forum, FAQ, and support page for any problems . You can also download a widget onto your webpage or blog so that you can chat to visitors.
Many people find it difficult to keep tabs on the multiple on-line identities that they amass, but with Meebo you can access all your accounts with just the one Meebo ID. There is no software that you need to download and you can chat from any computer with internet access. The site also states that "you can transfer files through instant messaging to any friend and you can save your conversation history so you dont lose valuable links and contact info".
This site seems a great solution to the problem that unless all your friends are on the one network you can't chat together.
