Want to use the MeeboMe widget but don’t want to run Meebo all the time? Are you using Pidgin?

Check out Manuel’s comment on my earlier Pidgin 2.0 article:

Actually, Meebo Me it?s already open
Take a look at this site:

The main problem is you get an authorization request every time someone hits your site, but there is already a plugin to work around that to:

There you go, everything needed to run MeeboMe on your site and have the discussions via Pidgin! I figured I’d “promote” that comment to a post as I found it so very useful.

Thanks Manuel, that’s great stuff.  My contact page is a bit more useful now too.

   I’ve been using Trillian but I’ve been unhappy with their support for a while now. I wonder if Pidgin would be a better solution now, especially if it can keep me logged into Meebo Me.

   Well Lincoln, there’s only one way to find out…

   I haven’t used Trillian in several years, but perhaps you can do a similar thing with it? Connecting to Meebo is probably pretty easy, if you can find a plugin to work around the authorization requests thing.
