I don’t use instant messaging as much anymore since I’ve started using Skype (you can do both text and voice in Skype), but did find a neat IM tool the other day. It is called Meebo.
It is essentially a website where you can log into your instant messaging program of choice without needing to install a program (which is great for those of you who have IT departments that forbid user installation of programs). I believe it is built on AJAX or Ruby. Very cool!
It actually lets me use GTalk (Google’s IM program). When I had installed Google’s software it about ground my computer to a halt (I quickly uninstalled it). My GTalk account is snipper@gmail.com if any of you want to test Meebo out…

This is an awesome work in progress. Considering it is only in alpha, I expect to see lots of great new features coming up.
