Tools of the Trade - Meebo Chat Room APIs opened

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Meebo announced today they will make their APIs for chat rooms available for websites to embed at a much more fundamental level than ever before.  In addition, they’re creating a new service to display ads in chat rooms and split proceeds from clicks with site owners.

“The power of Meebo Rooms is that they let anyone create live conversations on their site by aggregating people with similar interests from other sites.”

That’s big for you and me.  Not only can you serve ads to your own community, but also to members of other similar communities too. 

I haven’t incorporated Meebo into any of my communities yet.  Have you?  Do you feel like it helps with communiteering?
