Yeah, it’s a big number, but it’s just the drop in the bucket that Meebo processes every day – imagine how many more Instant Messages are sent in the native interfaces! The number comes from an interesting writeup of a meeting he had with Meebo by Tim O’Reilly. Lots of little interesting “new ways of doing business” nuggets in there.
I was sure I had mentioned Meebo in this blog before, but apparently not. It’s a nifty web-based cross-platform IM service. That means you can access almost any of your IM accounts (AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, or Jabber) via the web (no software to install, so perfect for a public computer), and if you register with Meebo you can sign in to all of them with a single sign-on.
