meebo is the Web’s live interaction platform. Founded in September 2005, meebo continues its wildfire-like spread among IMers around the globe. 25 million people use meebo monthly, either at meebo.com or through meebo widgets scattered throughout the Web.

According to Nielsen/NetRatings, meebo is the fastest-growing IM destination in the US – ahead of Google Talk and Skype Messenger. Partners include CBS, VH1, Showtime, NBC, Sony BMG, Warner Music Group, and Universal Music Group. meebo’s investors include Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Sequoia Capital.

meebo innovated on instant messaging in two very distinct ways:

• Meebo made IM open. It pioneered a future Web communication standard in which it matters much, much less which service you’re sign up for. meebo’s embedded products don’t require you to have any kind of IM identification - and you don’t have to sign up for meebo to use the service.
• Second, it brought IM into the Web. Like Hotmail did for email, meebo is making IM infinitely more accessible to many more people. Meebo’s widgets - meebo rooms and meebo me - let you chat in groups and 1-on-1, respectively, off of meebo.com. They reach close to 20 million people monthly. In addition, meebo has made third-party applications available inside meebo.com via the meebo Platform. Dozens of applications are now live from developers, including webcam, multi-player games, shopping, voice calls and many more.
