meebo me: IM Widget for your Personal Website

Since my post about meebo back in March, meebo has become my IM client of choice.  I even use it in my discussion group for one of my classes.  Web based means I can access it anywhere on any computer (on my Mac and PC) and with no downloads.  Best of all, it works will all of the main IMs. As an added bonus, it is just “cute” with a super clean interface it is very visually appealing.  Now the good folks at Meebo have come up with “meebo me”, a Flash based widget to sit on your website. As the meebo folks describe it:

meebo’s really excited to announce the release of “meebo me”, an embeddable IM widget that you can put almost anywhere on the web! It’s a lightweight, simple widget that enables you (in meebo.com) to see the people who are visiting your web page and chat with them if you’d like. It’s pretty easy:

1. Create a widget at meebo me.com.
2. Embed the widget on your personal page.
3. Log into meebo.com, watch for visitors (they’ll show up on your buddylist), and chat!

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it rolling on my site today.  I could add the “cut and paste” HTML to a block on the right with no problem, but there appears to be an issue with the log in.  It doesn’t recognize that I am logged on.  Next week after I’m done with the 40,001 papers I have left to finish for this summer semester, I’ll pick this up again . . .
