Meebo is well executed. But to me its just a "feature" , not a product. Google added that feature to Gmail long back.

I agree meebo was great, I used it heavily while visiting India at a relatives house. Alot better than AOL ever did with their Java based AIM web clients.

I kinda wish "the google" would eat them up. Meebo is just such a nice service to just disappear.

9 million bucks, how on earth are they gonna earn this back?? No offense but it sounds like the burble is building up again…

I use eBuddy and Meebo, both the best web messengers out there, but what business model can justify this amount of money for Meebo. I think Meebo’s doing a good job, but at the end of the day they haven’t made a penny.

I geuss a quick build up and then go YouTube style.. take over by Google??

Great for Meebo. It's the best Web IM I've tried, they deserve the funding. Though the it begs the question: How can they become profitable or self-sustainable?
