Week Nine: Instant Messaging

"Welcome to Meebo!"

I connected on Meebo with my Yahoo account and saw my contact list, already there. -- Yahoo did disconnect me from their chat though. I've used it because it shows up inside Yahoo! Mail. I then got on Meebo with my Facebook and now I can easily message all the other 23 things participants. -- Yet, Facebook already has a cool chat application. -- But, you can sign on to more than one account through Meebo and see different friends from different accounts at once. Nice.

At our library we use Meebo for online reference questions. It's easy for patrons and it gives us those extra seconds to form a reply. It also beats being on the phone with someone waiting for help right in front of you. It's a convenient not-so-instant messenger too!
