Version Tested : 0.23 beta 4 Compatibility : Adobe Air
Description : Meebone is an Adobe Air render of the much loved web based multiprotocol (multi client) messaging website. Handy if your using the Meebo me widget on your site.
Meebo is rapidly becoming the webs most popular web based messaging client. To be honest, I cant say I’m surprised either! Its freakin brilliant. It supports Yahoo Messenger, MSN / WLM (.net messenger), Google Talk, AIM, ICQ and Jabber. That’s quite an extensive list for a web based client. Bringing that to your desktop, with a smarter design, and having the same function from any browser, is just nice. Very Nice.
True, pidgin supports more messaging protocols, but it isn’t as beautiful, or has as many easy to use skins as meebo, and there is no web version either. Pidgen has a portable version, but with meebo, all you need is a browser. Both Pidgin and Meebo both have an open API , so plugin are simple to develop (relatively speaking if you can do those sort of things. Meebo has file transfer built in, along with web cams. How’s about that.
