Meebo introduces file transfers

I despise Windows Live Messenger's file transfer, it sure has aged from when it first was released and became a massive success all those years ago. So I thought it was very impressive when a new worker called Matt coded up a full file transfer protocol for the hit web messenger Meebo.

I think this takes Meebo up a level, making it more practical for business users, and despite some restrictions can be very helpful for those in need of sending a quick IM along with a report or spreadsheet:

You'll notice that there's a new bright and shiny button on the IM window toolbar (the white square with the swanky green arrow). We've tried to make the whole transfer process as easy as we could, so all you have to do is click a button and upload a file. The receiver on the other end will get a link to click on (similar to a meebo rooms invite) and all they have to do is click and accept. We're only allowing meebo account holders to send files, but anyone can receive... even your friends who are not on meebo (but should be =p). We're not quite supporting this feature in Safari yet, but hopefully soon!

I think Meebo has become something really special the past year or so and now it is one of the most popular websites on the Internet.
