I will add to this as I write more in the coming weeks on the topic. Journalists don’t often write stories that talk about, “This cool new company I met at a conference.”

Something happened and it was clear to me that this IE issues was just a smoke screen. Promise you won’t be defensive or try to change the decision.

A huge shout out to Ricky Wong of NYCSteals for helping me with the write-up. Unlike those IM clients with a small (ineffective) footprint, Meebo experience is a website and a full page screen. Because you put ads in front of user for a long time and cover the whole screen Meebo click-rates are very high.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
