Adds Facebook Chat / By Brad Stone
For Internet users whose instant messaging proclivities span numerous
systems -– AOL's AIM, Yahoo Messenger and Microsoft Messenger, for example
-– Meebo is a hugely useful tool.

Since 2005, the Mountain View, Calif., company has let people log into
multiple messaging systems at the same time from within a Web browser. It's
much easier than opening up the desktop software programs of several IM
systems and logging into them all at once.

Today, Meebo is getting even more useful, adding the popular Facebook Chat
to the list of instant messaging systems it supports. [snip]
