The ipernity meebo room

Sunday July 8, 2007 at 09:57PM

Meebo is a web browser based IM client, it can connect to every IM network, ICQ, MSN, Jabber, AIM, Yahoo!, and Google Talk (which is really just a Jabber server).

I am a bit of a IM whore, I used to run my own computer support business. My clients all connected to different IM networks so I had to have an ID on each of them. Not only that but I wanted seperate work and personal ID's so I have 2 ID's on each network.

The standard IM clients for each network came with extra crud that I did not need or want. I also did not want to install and have to keep up to date multiple pieces of software to connect to them. The solution to all of these problems was in the form of the excellent Pidgin it also allowed me to keep a log of every chat.

Now I work in a location that will not allow me to install extra software, meebo to the rescue!! I have signed up to meebo and just use my web browser to connect to all the IM networks. It also have public chat rooms and there is one for ipernity, come join me. The altrernative is to contact me on one of my ID's:

ICQ: 8572190
MSN: msn@tux.com.au
AIM: tuxcomputers
Y!: tuxcomputers
Gmail: tuxcomputers@gmail.com
Jabber: tuxcomputers@jabber.org.au

These are just my personal ID's, told you I was a IM network whore :)

Always good to have a techno-geek in one's contacts list, tux. :)

I use Adium, but I will definitely see if I can hook into the Ipernity room you've made. Good idea.
