Super slick web-based IM

This post comes from Narita Airport in Tokyo.

What does that have to do with an IM client? Well, I travel with two computers: one for work and one for personal use. The work machine has restrictions about downloading and installing software like IM clients. So my personal machine has all the IM buddy lists. Switching between the machines is a pain.

Enter Meebo. Even though it's only in "alpha" release, it is wicked slick. Hit the home page, enter your IDs/Passwords for any of the major IM services (Yahoo!, AOL, MSN, Jabber/gtalk), hit enter and there you are...live and loaded with all your buddy lists.

If they can get my iSight camera to work (and for all I know, maybe it does...I need to check), I might be able to leave my beloved Apple safe at home.

Thanks to Jun Ying for the head's up.
