I saw Meebo's talk at Future of Web Apps last week and they definitely know what they're doing technically. It's amazing to think something built on Gaim has grown into a service so popular.

Hah, I said the same thing here: http://scobleizer.com/2008...

As much as Pidgin, Adium, and other messengers have brought cross platform chatting to the desktop, Meebo can do that for web based discussion. XMPP brings significant compatibility with current networks, and others such as Facebook have announced plans to support XMPP. Expanding Meebo to other protocols and networks, such as IRC, may also be important. Meebo is already helpful for users that want browser based messaging through multiple established networks, and it will be interesting to see if these features can improve 3rd party websites as well.
