Re the widget to alert you to a conversation opening, I haven't located one either but, when minimised, my Firefox app tab automatically flashes up the first few characters of a conversation. Not perfect, but I usually spot it.
Oddly enough, I'd prefer such a widget to tell me when someone has landed on my blog to give me the option to initiate a conversation. Too often, people have dropped in and I failed to spot them in time.
It would also be handy if meembome could log visitors by the identity they give i.e. not the default one assigned. Whilst tools like google analytics provide the stats, I'd like to know who dropped by.
You can change the colours of your meebome widget to suit your preferences (see mine). You change them from within meembome.com account and it updates in realtime.
Thanks for your thoughts and I am glad I am not the only one that thinks Meebo is a solid Comm product. I imagine more people will use it.
Good catch on the colours by the way as I had forgotten that you can change them. I am not keen on publishing incorrect info but it does happen.
I use FF too but rarely see the flashing as I am focused elsewhere, you may just be a very gifted multi-tasker that you can catch the flashing of a new conversation.
If you receive multiple visitors on a site that you want several people/staff to converse with, then presently you would struggle.
Zoho chat is another solution to having an embedded chat widget but it lacks that IM aggregation feature, which is why meebome still has the edge.
