Well, I want to take this opportunity to blog about Meebo. I just decided to switch from my instant messengers and I can’t say enough good things about Meebo. For those that don’t know Meebo is a website that aggregates all of your instant messenger accounts into one chat interface. There is no need for four or five instant messenging programs because Meebo allows you to connect via your browser. There is also a Meebo Firefox extension that automatically signs you in when you start your browser. If thats not enough, Meebo also has Meebo Me widgets that you can add to your web site and blog that allows your friends to chat with you and see if you are online. In fact, I added mine to this blog on the left side. Meebo is definitely a great chat tool that I highly recommend! Be sure to check Meebo out at http://www.meebo.com/ !

I just made a change to all my blogs. I added the Meebo widget to them. Now you see if I am online and even talk to me. All right from my blogs! Can technology get any better than this?

I have been keeping an eye on Flock for the 1.o release to give it a whirl. I am actually pleased with how well performance seems to be. It even seems better than Firefox to me. The theme looks great and works well for me. All of my extensions installed except for two older ones that still work in Firefox. Just about the only thing that still disappoints me is that there aren’t that many services built in. I wish Flock would put in MySpace, Buzznet, Last.fm, Picasa Web Albums, and more. I am sure that they are going to add more. Perhaps they should create extensions for the different services so that you can pick which ones you want to be built in. That way it can be customized for each user. Overall, I am pleased with Flock and it is now my default browser until I find something wrong with it. Maybe I won’t. I am actually posting this entry from Flock right now! Flock on, people!
