Pidgin was an excellent IM tool particularly on Linux desktops, but there were numerous times when I'm at someone else's computer and a web-based IM client like Meebo came in handy.

Pretty sure meebo was built on top of libpurple, so even when you went to someone else's PC, you were still using Pidgin!

Of course Google killed it, meebo was great and way ahead of it's time back then.
