I read that Amsterdam based eBuddy (www.ebuddy.com), claims to be profitable with 35M users. From what I can gather, they sell ads on their site. It’s a common way to generate revenue.

Going back to the Meebo story… what’s the bottom line here? Just Invest money… at the end of the day a business is a business, so HOW do they plan to make their bucks? Any thoughts on this?

Is Meebo not going to have the same problem? Seems like their whole plan is to scale up to a webIM provider -- same features as other big IM, just different platform. Same problems too.</p> well, AOL and others habe been working hard to monetize their IM networks for a long time. Is Meebo not going to have the same problem?

Nor do skins for that matter - child's play if you ask me.</p> I just love Meebo and was very surprised and pleased with the new release.

Don’t care so much about popping out, doesn’t matter to me. Nor do skins for that matter – child’s play if you ask me.

They deserve to be appreciated for doing so. However, I suggest they get a professional to do the transliteration; at least for Indian languages. The current ones read/sound funny.</p> Good move to support multiple languages. They deserve to be appreciated for doing so.
