PCWorld: Meebo Instant Messaging App Comes to IPhone
Rather than working inside the iPhone browser, this is a separate app that lets you keep in touch with colleagues on different popular IM services from one interface. You can even search past chats.
“For those of us who want the convenience of instant messaging from any computer equipped with a Web browser, there’s Meebo. Meebo is a Web app, there to comfort us with our friend’s instant pestering during long hours spent doing tedious busywork on public computers. In days of yore, it came to be quite popular among tech-savvy college kids.
Nowadays, with the rise of smartphones, Meebo’s pitch isn’t quite as attractive. Smartphones are easier to access than a public computer running some flavor of Firefox or Internet Explorer 6. While Meebo’s service works on the iPhone’s browser, it’s not as good as a native iPhone app. So what did the folks at Meebo do? Well, they went ahead and made a Meebo iPhone app.”
