Yes again yes, IM

So, with Meebo beta and two sharp colleagues in the department I've learned to chat amongst ourselves. First, one registers for Yahoo Messenger and then one registers for Meebo beta web based IM. Then chat at Meebo; chat with Yahoo Messenger doesn't seem to work on all office machines. Interesting.

The Meebo widget can be added to one's blog also, but it isn't functional. Good practise, however.

There has been some problem with Yahoo Messenger chat and the actual key strokes. Although, we don't know the full syntax, sometimes the space bar seems to lock up the computer when trying Yahoo Messenger. Messages without punctuation may work better. Also, one sends a message with the Enter key (which requires tacit knowledge; one looks for a Send button to click in vain). This is confusing. When customers log on to library computers on LINKcat the OPPOSITE is required. That is, using the Enter key doesn't work; one must click on the Send button. So it goes.

Glad you got some IMing figured out, Jim. And your MeeboMe widget looks great! I'll leave you a message from it, just so you can see the results.

We think that MeeboMe widgets will work on LINK machines if you are using Firefox and have at least version 7.0 of Flash. At least, that's what we've discovered so far. But let me know if your experience is different!
