What’s good about 有什麼好 Meebo meebo ?
Convenience - Meebo is a quick and simple way to connect to multiple Instant Messaging services from a single browser window. 方便 -m eebo是一種快速簡單的方式連接到多個即時通訊服務從單一的瀏覽器窗口。 It supports AOL, Yahoo!, ICQ, Jabber, GTalk, MSN & its own MeeboMe service.它支持美國在線,雅虎, ICQ的,的Jabber , gtalk的MSN &自己的meebome服務。 I find it more convenient to use than Trillian.我覺得它更方便的使用比的Trillian 。

Multi-language support - Meebo is supported in several languages. 多語言支持 -m eebo是支持在幾種語言。

What Meebo needs to improve? meebo什麼需要改進?
Speed - Often during the day (US Pacific Standard Time), I find Meebo to be rather slow. 速度 -通常是在白天(美國太平洋標準時間) ,我覺得m eebo將相當緩慢。 For example now I am waiting for at least 3-4 minutes for my authentication to be completed.舉例來說,現在我等待至少3-4分鐘,我的驗證才能完成。 It could be that the AJAX request is simply failing and it is waiting indefinitely.可以說, Ajax的要求,只不過是沒有,這是無限期地等待。 Re-clicking on the sign-on / login button doesn’t help.重新按一下註冊/登錄按鈕沒有幫助。 The only way to login in such cases is to refresh the page and then type the password again.唯一的出路,以登錄在這種情況下是刷新頁面,然後再次輸入密碼。

Passwords are not remembered in browser - This happens because Meebo uses AJAX to login instead of the standard form submission using POST. 密碼是不記得,在瀏覽器中 -這種情況的原因是m eebo使用A jax的登錄而不是標準的形式提交使用後。 So your browser doesn’t realize that you are supplying your credentials (login & password) that it should give you an option to remember.因此,您的瀏覽器不知道你是提供您的憑據(登錄及密碼) ,它應給你一個選擇,要記住。 This is a major irritant for me as I normally let my browser to remember the passwords for me.這是一個重大的刺激對我來說,正如我通常讓我的瀏覽器記住密碼箱。

Slows down Firefox to a crawl - Meebo significantly slows down Firefox as well as Internet Explorer. 拖慢Firefox的一個檢索 -m eebo顯著放緩, F irefox作為以及I nternetE xplorer。 After sometime (with only Meebo running) everything slows down.經過一段時間(只有meebo運行的)一切慢下來。 Firefox consumes too much CPU and memory. Firefox的消耗太多的CPU和內存。 This is one reason why I don’t remain logged in Meebo all the time.這是原因之一,我不留記錄在meebo的所有時間。

IRC - Meebo doesn’t appear to support IRC. 體育館 -m eebo似乎不支持體育館。 I think it will be a very good addition to Meebo.我認為,這將是一個很好的,除了meebo 。

In conclusion I think Meebo is moving in the right direction.在結論,我覺得meebo是朝著正確的方向前進。 However its services need to be improved upon as described above.但其服務需要加以改善後,如上文所述。 I would also like to see a intranet version for corporations.我也想看到一個聯網版的公司。

What I am not so sure is the revenue model of Meebo.什麼我不這麼肯定的是,收入模型meebo 。 I am assuming they will display advertisement in Meebo page or provide bots which allows you to purchase products and services.我假設他們會顯示廣告,在meebo網頁或提供漫遊,讓您購買的產品和服務。
