About Meebo Rooms

Meebo Rooms is an interactive chat room service available to Meebo members and guests alike and was released in early May of 2007. Much of the development of Meebo Rooms was driven by the Meebo user community with users requesting a more enriching group chat experience after Meebo IM chat was launched.

What is different about Meebo Rooms from other chat room services out there is that it does not require room participants to have an account with any IM service (AIM, Yahoo, MSN, google Talk, etc). In fact, you do not even have to be a Meebo member to participate in the chat rooms as you can join in the conversations as a guest. Although, we highly encourage those who try out Meebo Rooms and enjoy it to start a Meebo account so that they can benefit from the other services that being a member provides. In addition, inside each Meebo Room is the option for participants to share media that can be found on the web with other chat room participants. Oftentimes, you will find a Meebo room displaying videos and images, playing music via mp3 player, or storing a url link to a website of interest. The media inside Meebo Rooms is often a topic of interest and can spark lively discussion on the subject at hand. Similar to the Meebo Me widget product, Meebo Rooms was released with the option to embed a chat room on an external website such as your myspace page or personal blog. Visitors to your website can join in the current discussions of a Meebo room by typing into the Meebo Room widget installed on your site. Placing a Meebo Room on your website is a simple and easy process. As you can see, participants of a Meebo Room can enjoy and access the experience from a variety of web locations.
