Anyone else using Meebo?

Wow, I kept hearing about it, but I've now because a use of Meebo and it's great!

What a great tool to have all of your IM clients in one solution. Good work by them!

Anyone else using it? Any cool tips that you can share with a new user?

 

I use it for AIM, because I don't have it installed, otherwise I use the real Windows Live, Yahoo, Facebook, etc.

Back when I was against downloading all sorts of programs I used it, and it's great, very convenient.

 

Moved to "Miscellaneous Discussion".

 

I use it at school.

 

Pidgin > Meebo =).

But yes, I've heard of it but don't really like it.

 

I'm quite fond of Meebo and tend to use it over the actual IM client (i.e. AIM, Windows Live Messenger, etc). It can be a bit buggy at times but is great overall.

 

Nothing beats having software on your computer for instant messaging, its a shame windows live messenger doesnt allow you to login with all the different IMs out there. I have seen Meebo, never tried it.

 

Been a sucker for Trillian for years. One piece of software for everything IM and Social network wise, I love it! Meebo? Doesn't look that great.

 

Yes it does.

Also you can set up your e-mails @yahoo.com @yoursite.com etc for MSN to be your instant messaging thingy... whingy...thingy.

 

Does anything other than yahoo work with it too?

 

Yeah, you can use your own e-mail, example: [email protected]. As far as I know, you can use any e-mail and configure it to use MSN messenger as your main IM.

 

I don't believe that any of the other major instant messaging clients (i.e. AIM) are supported, no.

 

No haven't used this. I used Trillian years ago. But since I've cut down to using nothing but Yahoo IM, no need for it.

 

I wanted to try and see, so I signed up quickly to AOL to verify.

With an @aol.com e-mail address, yes, but I didn't think that you could simply sign in with your AIM screen name. I could be wrong. :shrug:

 

I get what you mean, I've never used aim, but don't they give you an e-mail adress?

I am sure you can't log in with JUST yourscreenname, but you can have an account with [email protected]?

 

Only have MSN Messenger on my phone. Don't run IM clients on my PC anymore.

 

They do provide you with an e-mail account automatically, so you would indeed be able to register an identity with that, yes.

 

You can log in with either. AOL user's don't have an aim.com email address. The entire purpose of AOL Instant Messenger was to allow AOL users to talk to non-AOL users either using the AOL Client or the AIM client.

I've never logged into AIM using an email address, just the screenname, and I haven't been an AOL customer for 13 years. Don't use it anymore though because I just maintained it to allow my mother to contact me if she needed to. Now she just sends me an SMS from her phone.
