Instant messaging (IM) is handy for long-distance conversations. And unlike phones, most IM programs allow you to exchange files as you talk.
The only problem with IM is that you're chained to your computer. On a friend's PC or a public computer, you may not have the luxury of IM programs. So how can you stay in touch?
Meebo answers this question with a Web site that acts as an IM program. All you need is a Web browser, so you can IM from pretty much anywhere.
Meebo works with AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger and more. Just use your login name and password as normal. The only difference is that you're using the Meebo site to log in.
You can also create a master Meebo account. It allows you to log into multiple accounts simultaneously. For example, you can chat with friends on MSN Messenger and AIM at the same time. Meebo shows your buddy list for each account.
If you have your own Web page, you can add a Meebo chat window to it. Your visitors can use the window to chat with you if you're logged into Meebo.
