Other similar implementations were either DMCA'd off of various platforms or had their domains seized by lawyers, their legal actions go back a few years already

I suppose the emoji version survives because it doesn't infringe on their word list or patent, which specifically is for "words"

It's the default official tool next to the GUI, isn't it? And it's basically the default installation option? I've been using that for a while.

Re:Google buys Meebo on Monday June 04, 2012 @05:09PM (#4065992)
I've been using the (old) Meebo Messenger for years. I've never had the impression that they cared about its users a lot. There were no updates on the user interface since I began using it, they didn't add features that were highly requested on the feedback forums.

The toolbar thing is just... I don't know what that is. Looks useless to me.

Another thing, are there any good other web based multi messengers? I guess they will shut this down soon then?

Re:Free 18GB Dropbox account now possible through referrals on Wednesday April 04, 2012 @10:11AM (#3797634)
You just get double the space per referral, but you can not exceed the 18GB limit. That means you can get to 18GB faster, with fewer referrals.

But I don't know if it works retroactively for refs you already have.
