  1. Use all of them- Meebo.com by tezzer · · Score: 1, Informative · on What Makes a Good IM Client?

    If you want to juggle several accounts and not worry about firewalls, go to Meebo, which does Gmail, Jabber, AIM, ICQ and MSN in a browser window.

  2. Re:Can AJAX finally bring us "push technology" by John+Hurliman · · Score: 2, Informative · on Ajax in Action

    That whole technology relies "You keep a TCP/IP connection to your XMPP server open while you are online", which is already doable with HTTP. The client makes an AJAX call to the server, and if the server has data to return it sends it back immediately, otherwise it waits and holds the connection open until $TIMEOUT. If $TIMEOUT is hit it sends a "no data" message to the client, and the client reconnects again each time. This is how http://www.meebo.com/ implements pseudo-push to create the webgaim bridge, and apparently it scales up to the tens of thousands with a few decent servers, but not sure how many users each machine can effectively support.

    One day IPv6 will solve all this, and I can have news pushed to my browser in my flying car. Until then polling and pseudo-push seem to work all right.

  4. Re:gaim works for me, but loses ground from here by mjt+AG · · Score: 2, Informative · on Linux Instant Messengers

    I know this is a little offtopic, but if you're using a linux box and can't decide on a IM app, you can always point someone to using http://www3.meebo.com/. This uses ajax so that you can IM online through port 80 (especially useful when any of the IM ports are being blocked at work).
