Meebo appears to be more trouble than its worth. I found I wasn’t really using it (logging in on the site is a drag.) I just switched it off.

Gnash is known to be buggy, but there is no other 64bit flash plugin for linux. This is what I did to view your site without crashing my browser: $ echo 127.0.0.1 widget.meebo.com >> /etc/hosts Seems to crash Firefox 1.5.0.5 with Gnash 0.7.1 on Ubuntu 6.06 64bit.

I use meebo day in, day out, as my day to day IM client so it's very good for me. I added it yesterday to my site, and I’ve yet to have any difficulties.

I put it on my site last night and was able to log in, but if I went to check on another machine it would show me as offline after a few minutes. This morning it's telling me I can't log in because my username or password is wrong even tho I'm using the same credentials. How ever, I know it's still in alpha so I think I'll give it a little time before I give up on it. I’d definitely agree with you on the service being unreliable.

I had to refresh the Meebo web site three times to log in this time around. Also, I haven't been able to have a single conversation (although I saw that people had pinged me when I was offline.)
