wondering, confused, and meebo.com

Did you know that the greatest invention in the chat world is meebo.com?? "Why?" you ask. Well, it is a website accessible anywhere, even where internet connection to other sites are blocked, it is a 4 in one messenger software (can be used for YM, msn IM, googletalk, and aol IM). It is a site that you can use even if you are not registered to meebo.com per se. It is best to use if you need to communicate with someone through instant messaging and you are not authorized (or just plain tamad) to install the messenger software. Registering to meebo is even better! "Why?" you ask again. Okay, you get to log in just once and you automatically get signed in to all the messenger accounts that you have. You also get to change the background of the screen or the template for that matter. The coolest thing however, is that you get to keep a chat log record of ALL the conversations you had with ANY of your contacts, plus you get to access them anywhere 'coz they're saved on web servers, not on the PC you were on when you had the conversation. Talk about evidence and reminiscing, right?

Reminiscing... hmmmm... leads me to the crazy and somewhat stupid thing that I have been doing in the past hour or so. There's this guy, he's nice. He is someone you can have great conversations with, in person, over the phone, or chat. We were in the same class for training when we started to work here at Sykes. It started out with a single, and I can pretty much say sort-of senseless, conversation. Imagine talking about which building is which, what street this is and which body of water is that. All while looking out the window of the 36th floor break room. We got along really well, we became a couple after a week (yeah, that fast), finished training in 2 weeks, worked in 2 different sites, and now 10 months has passed. He's been in Singapore for almost 4 months now. And this my friends, is where meebo gets in the scene. Okay, you may think, she's working in a call center, why meebo when she has all the internet access and software she needs? WRONG! We have a very strict account, the sites you can access are just msn.com and google.com. We are not authorized to install any program on the PC as well. And of course, as expected, chatting and blogging and Friendster are not allowed. Fortunately, a proxy name for meebo.com was discovered by one of my teammates. Him being in Singapore, our main means of communication is chat. We've been doing so since December but recently had an unexpected fall out.. Honestly, I really don't know what happened to him. He was, all of a sudden, lost. And I say lost because I don't know where he is or how he's been. And he doesn't show up on chat anymore. Anyways, as I was saying, I've been spending the past hour reading the chat log containing our conversations. I know it's stupid but hey, it puts a smile on my face and warm fuzzy feeling over. Although it makes me wonder all the more..

And, boom! It hit me hard, that hey, Meebo is a pretty cool site and invention I must say. Try it for yourself! :)
