The Google team has reportedly confirmed that the existing Meebo team will join the Google Plus team. Together with Google, we’re super jazzed to roll up our sleeves and get cracking on even bigger and better ways to help users and Web site owners alike.”

Meebo said in its blog, “For more than seven years we’ve been helping publishers find deeper relationships with their users and to make their sites more social and engaging. Google Plus will now be seen with the social toolbar and other sharing tools of Meebo. In contrast, Facebook has approximately 900 million visitors daily. But it has not been able to make a mark for itself in terms of frequency of visitors. Google Plus was launched last year and now has over 170 million users. Meebo supports multiple instant messaging services, including Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, AIM, ICQ, MySpace IM, Facebook Chat and Google Talk. It later launched other communication features. Weitere Protokolle, die unterstützt werden, sind in Deutschland nicht so weit verbreitet. Unterstützt werden ICQ, Windows Live, Jabber, Facebook und GTalk. Das Programm läuft komplett im Browser und braucht keine zusätzlichen Plugins. Silicon Valley start-up Meebo started operations in 2005 as a browser-based messaging service. Wenn Sie unterwegs auf diverse Instant Messenger Programme zugreifen wollen, nutzen Sie ganz einfach Meebo. This acquisition will add more tools to Google’s social networking platform Google Plus in its attempt to take on Facebook. Price details were not made public but sources say that it was close to $100 million. The official blog of Meebo confirmed the acquisition today. However, it is still active with mobile versions, games and other innovative applications for users.Google has agreed to buy online chat site Meebo. Using ICQ is very simple. With the software installed, the user obtains the UIN, a Unique Identification Number that identifies it in the network (also called ICQ Number). You can add other ICQ users through UIN or search for specific features.īecause of the entry into the market of several other instant messaging software similar to ICQ (such as mIRC, MSN Messenger, Google Talk, Skype, Jabber, Meebo, etc.), but mainly due to the strong competition of MSN Messenger, ICQ ended up losing many users. They then developed instant messaging software that became a leader in the years to come, winning several awards. Through ICQ, users could chat with people from around the world. In 1996, Israeli youth Yair Goldfinger, Arik Vardi, Sefi Vigiser and Amnon Amir wanted to create a new form of Internet communication for the Windows operating system. ICQ is a reduction of the English pronunciation of the letters I (ai), C (si), Q (kiu), forming the phrase “I seek you”. ICQ is an instant communication program, the pioneer of such programs on the Internet.
