A month ago, I announced the first release of my “Meebo Desktop” application.  Today, I’m excited (and surprised) to see that it has just broken the 100 downloads mark.

Is a 100 a lot?  To me it is — especially for something that hasn’t really been promoted or marketed. I am well pleased. Thanks folks, I hope you like it. Tell your friends!

I do have some future plans for it, should I ever find the free time to tackle them.  As is though, I personally find it usable.  Usable enough that I run it on my work machine every day.  :-)

   Congratulations on your 100th download!
   Quick! Position your product to sell it to google or yahoo and make a gajillion dollars and remember how encouraging I was/am.

   Oh crud. That means I need to add big fonts, gradients and tagging!

   Those’ll be in 1.0.5…

   Hi man,

   Your application is a cool ASP.NET project. Opensource it to get more popularity. For microsoft projects, you can host it here: http://www.codeplex.com

   Iam really happy to see the 100th download of ur software.. (becoz iam also one of the downloader here)..

   I can also help you in making the application better if you want. I have good knowledge in ASP.NET and VB.NET.. Like this, many will come up to lend their free time if you opensource it under codeplex..

   Welcome to the opensource community..

   Thanks for the codeplex link. I have a lot I’d like to do with this little app, but not enough time… if I do I’ll look at going the codeplex route.

   That being said, hosting it there and letting other folks take it to the next level has a lot of appeal too. It’s useful, but it could be SOOOO much better.

   Up to 385 downloads now.
