In examining possibilities for building ad-hoc communities around specific web pages, I was excited to read that Meebo created a widget to release their meebo rooms into the wild. Meebo.com is an Internet application that allows you to manage a variety of existing IM accounts through a single web site. Their chat rooms can be customized, and the interface incorporates multimedia, such as YouTube and other web content. What I was looking to find was a notification feature: the ability to link chats situated in web sites with an administrator not looking at that page at the time. It doesn’t seem to be there at the moment, but Meebo is just a Twitter away from being a killer app.
