Instant messaging service Meebo is celebrating its fifth birthday with a slew of new updates to the Meebo Bar, a redesigned homepage and the launch of an app for BlackBerry.
The company is releasing two new features for the Meebo Bar, which adds chat and drag-and-drop functionality to any website with a bar that rests at the bottom of the page. The first is highlight-to-share text functionality, while Meebo’s new embeddable buttons allow for drag-and-drop sharing of images or articles right on the page.
Meebo has also announced the release of its BlackBerry App. Like its iPhone and Android counterparts, the BlackBerry app gives users access to their different IM accounts. One of its key features is seamless transition between the desktop and the mobile client. It also provides full access to a user’s chat history.
Finally, Meebo has launched a redesign of its homepage, which the company says is just the first step towards a complete redesign. It’s cleaner and adds a new focus on its mobile apps.
Hitting the five-year mark is definitely a milestone for Meebo. We’ve been covering the company for years. Now it is one of the web’s most popular websites and instant messaging clients; the company claims its products reach 30% of U.S. Internet users. We look forward to seeing what Meebo is able to conjure up in the next five years.
