This is some cool stuff. I'll just quote a blog here since it explains it better than I would :)
As Ajax spreads it wings, folks are using it to come up with cool new apps. Writely, was one. Latest - Meebo, a web-based IM client. Through Ajax, the folks at meebo were able to create a virtual application-like experience within a single web browsing window.
Yes Meebo is quite the thing!!
I use it from time to time :)
When i first found it,they didnt have SSL enabled so i recommend it and it was added :)
Anyone else use Meebo? (A friend has it embedded on his site also :))
