Meebo (Instant Messaging) Support for iPhone

Tuesday July 3, 2007 8:33 am PDT by Arnold Kim
The lack of a true instant messaging client for the iPhone has been an issue for some. Meebo.com is a popular web-based client which offers support for AIM, Yahoo, Google Talk, and MSN -- all in one interface.

Unfortunately, the iPhone was unable to use the Meebo interface due to the lack of a "Send" button. iPhone users were unable to otherwise submit their instant messages.

It looks like the Meebo team has responded and made the appropriate changes, so Meebo now works from the iPhone. The "Go" button appears on the iPhone keyboard and submits your messages.

Thanks! It works now. There is a go button in the entry window that sends the message. Now if they can make a smaller interface.

You are probably not quite hitting it right.

In the contact menu, I had to go a little below to get the blue line to come on there and it to open up the chat box.

So far it has not worked for me.. I was not able to log on to my Yahoo IM that is what I wanted to use. I was able to log on the MSN but my buddies were way on the right side of the screen could not see them. Unfortunately I didn't have any buddy to chat with so I am not sure how it might work.

How long does it take to log in? I'm trying to sign into my AIM account and it's taking a while!
