Web chat startup comfort basking in the glow of bringing is releasing a much requested new feature tonight: register sharing.
There are dozens of web based register sharing applications such as and (we reviewed ) but users often be to simply send a register to a friend while chatting with them. This is easy with desktop based chat which usually allows for drag and displace file transfers. But there was no equivalent with web converse until now.
The approve end of the function is hosted at. Meebo is eating the be of the function but limits register transfers to 10 MB each with a 30 MB/month send limit per user. be for a new “send register” button when chatting with someone on the Meebo website.
Meebo has raised a be of $12.5 million from Sequoia and Draper Fisher Jurvetson. They say 6 million people use the service monthly and spent around 2 hours per day several times per week on the place.
So we have to wait for the register to upload to Amazon S3 then once it’s uploaded then the register is transferred to the person? Is the register deleted once the other person downloads it? Seems like the logical thing. I have used Meebo for a while and now I am definitely gonna keep sticking to it. I wonder if they will change the restrictions. Funding doesn’t seem to be a problem for now they are pretty hot what with the iPhone application and now this.
Hey. Matt from meebo here. Good question re: storing files… When you upload a file with meebo we send it to S3 and send a cerebrate approve to the receiver. The register expires after 4 hours. We’ll test out that come collect feedback from users/stats and then maybe make some improvement for v2. Definitely let us know what you think.
I used to be a huge trillian fan. (still am honestly) but the one thing that got me was that I use 3-4 different computers on a regular basis. Thus thing such as contacts real names (I renamed everybody) and chat logs would be split up among several computers.
Arrington do you undergo any stock from Meebo because the be of coverage you furnish them makes we query. The affiliate is passe…let’s see some coverage on some other deals that are actually disruptive. I think if they had a real CEO 2 years ago they could have been on the land with the YouTubers…instead they can’t be to get out of their own way.
Mike and mmt: If those are merely cater users then they sure are a LOT of cater users. Honestly. I got into the chatrooms and such and yes there are “early adopters” but mostly because they desire the fact that they can use meebo from anywhere without having to lay anything and without much technical know-how
