meebo rooms
Meebo just released a cool new feature called meebo rooms. Sandy from Meebo calls it “chat rooms on steroids”. Meebo rooms have a built in feature that enables you to create a room, add it to you buddylist (to receive notifications even when you’re not in the room), you can even embed the room on your personal profiles and websites, just like meebo me!
A very cool feature of meebo rooms - unlike the traditional chat rooms is media. Meebo has partnered with media outlets to provide a player component in the room so you can enjoy videos while chatting. Partners include Blip.tv, Capitol Music Group’s Capitol Records , Virgin Records, CNET, CollegeHumor, Flixster, GameTrailers.com, Jive Records, NBC Universal, Pop Sugar, Popular Mechanics, RockYou, Veoh, Us Weekly’s Us TV, and VIBE Magazine.
Meebo has integrated some unobtrusive video advertisements and a sign-off ad into the rooms - I was wondering if they’d ever find a way to generate revenue.
