Web converse startup still basking in the glow of bringing is releasing a much requested new feature tonight: file sharing.
There are dozens of web based file sharing applications such as and (we reviewed ) but users often be to simply displace a file to a friend while chatting with them. This is easy with desktop based converse which usually allows for draw and displace file transfers. But there was no equivalent with web chat until now.
The approve end of the service is hosted at. Meebo is eating the cost of the function but limits file transfers to 10 MB each with a 30 MB/month send limit per user. be for a new “send register” add when chatting with someone on the Meebo website.
Meebo has raised a total of $12.5 million from Sequoia and Draper Fisher Jurvetson. They say 6 million people use the function monthly and spent around 2 hours per day several times per week on the place.
So we have to wait for the file to transfer to Amazon S3 then once it’s uploaded then the file is transferred to the person? Is the file deleted once the other person downloads it? Seems desire the logical thing. I undergo used Meebo for a while and now I am definitely gonna act sticking to it. I wonder if they will dress 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 register with meebo we send it to S3 and send a link back to the receiver. The file expires after 4 hours. We’ll evaluate out that approach hive away 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. (comfort 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 have from Meebo because the be of coverage you furnish them makes we wonder. The affiliate is passe…let’s see some coverage on some other deals that are actually disruptive. I evaluate if they had a real CEO 2 years ago they could have been on the beach with the YouTubers…instead they can’t seem to get out of their own way.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
