I was so excited to read this post on the Library Voice blog about setting up MeeboMe widgets in Pidgin (formerly GAIM), free IM software similar to Trillian. It works great! It took me about five minutes to download and install Pidgin, the Meebo plugin for Pidgin, and set up my IM accounts. I have been using Meebo for all of my instant messaging, but I prefer using an IM client instead of always having to have a couple Firefox windows open for Meebo.
