Web-based multi-headed IM client worth looking at.

Meebo is one of those niche online util­it­ies that you can eas­ily over­look, but that would be bad. Meebo is an Instant Message(IM) Integ­ra­tion tool — a multi-headed IM cli­ent — tha lets you con­nect to all your IM accounts in one interface.

From the cli­ent level, this is no great innov­a­tion. Tril­lian excels at this as a stand-alone execut­able. Where Meebo shines though, is that it works through your browser. Sim­ilar to MSN’s webmes­sen­ger, except that you can also access AOL’s IM, Yahoo’s IM, Google’s IM, ICQ, and Jab­ber, through most organ­iz­a­tional fire­walls designed to block ‘nor­mal’ IM traffic. Cool Tech.
