When we initially launched meebo, we crossed our fingers, gave our two little servers some encouraging pats, and sent out those first emails to friends and family. Words of encouragement started trickling in from students, office workers, soldiers, and travelers. One of our most loyal user groups was completely unexpected… librarians.
Turns out that locked-down computers, reference librarians who always want to be in touch with their patrons, and the desire to make libraries fun and friendly have given meebo and meebo me the perfect opportunity to shine.
Just recently, we smiled when reading Jessamyn’s blog where she helped a librarian post these posters advocating the use of meebo instead of download clients. Also, Aaron has been traipsing around libraries promoting meebo me as well. He explains, meebo me doesn’t require a download and the widget can be placed directly on the library’s website.
Thanks for keeping meebo in mind when you’re visiting your local library and public computer clusters. We’re happy to help out!
Take Care,

How is meebo different than trillian?
Meebo is an IM client through a web browser, Trillian is a little program that runs on your computer. Meebo is a web app. Trillian is a normal “download and install” app.
Hm… can’t think of another way to explain it
