One more thing for today, I want to put a plug in for one of my classmates, Seth S., who has just launched a start-up with some friends of his called Meebo.com. In a nutshell, their site hosts a custom-developed application that allowed you to access AIM, Yahoo mesenger, MSN Messenger, and ICQ through a single web-based interface. I won’t go into the details of how they make it work in the back-end, but I can attest that they’ve got a great system. I’ve been using it extensively while I’ve been out here in Asia and it has allowed me to chat with my peoples back home from terminals that often don’t have any chat programs installed. The site launched a few days ago and they’ve already been getting a lot of traffic, which the system has continued to perform well under. If you get a chance, feel free to check the site out and give the development team feedback through the “Forum” link on the site. Oh yeah, I guess I should also mention that it is 100% FREE to use. I’m going to make a prediction and say that this app is going to be the big rage among internet stuff within a couple of months…when it happens, I’m going to open up a “Miss Cleo” hotline and start making predictions for cash
