++ More Updates at meebo
We posted about the new meebo rooms feature about two weeks ago. This time around several new features and fixes. Btw, since meebo allows you to access several IM products in one place (and without downloading any software), the weather bots listed above for AOL and MSN work fine. meebo is a free service.
