Android is a software platform developed by Google which is designed for mobile phones. The first phone to use it was the T-Mobile G1, which has been dubbed the first so called "Google phone". The platform uses many open source technologies and thus paves the way for many applications to be created for it.
Meebo for Android allows you to connect to all your IM accounts from your mobile phone in one easy to use application. It is good to see in just less than a month the Meebo development team have already got an application out to the public:

We really want to stress that this is just the first version. It doesn't have every feature that you would look for in a full blown desktop IM application, but we thought it would be best to release it as soon
as possible, and let your suggestions guide future development.

Meebo have announced they will provide "instant messaging in a box" to various community websites. Think of it as a kind of shoutbox, where users can chat to other users on a website with an established community. The application will be similar to Facebook chat, in the sense a small box will pop-out once clicked, showing users online, with whom you can talk to.
This is yet another great idea from the Meebo ideas factory, but I'm not currently sure who will have access to it. I believe it is open to a selected few websites, with large communities, hoping to profit from ads within the application. If the service becomes publicly available, then expect to see one here.

I've already shown you how to use Meebo within your web browser and I thought it was a good idea as it made using web messengers just that little more practical. Now you can use Meebo specifically for Firefox with a new official addon.
Meebo for Firefox integrates the web messenger well, you can show/ hide your contact list whenever you like, receive toast messages and things are a little more organised.
Although I am a Windows Live Messenger user I think it's tempting to combine my web browser and Messenger within one program. The only use I had for web messengers before was when the server went down, now Meebo has integrated its service into Firefox I believe it opens the door to the everyday user.
Nevertheless, after logging in a tab opens which will keep the main Meebo website open which is necessary to keep you logged onto the service. This means you still log into Meebo via the website and not through the addon. However the addon helps make it simpler and much easier to use.

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!
