Do you see that new “send file” icon ?

Here’s what it looks like:

Meebo Chat Send File

This is a much needed addition which has been long overdue. I have been using Yahoo IM for a long time but quickly switched to Meebo after finding that you can have multiple chat windows open from several service providers at the same time. However, I always ran into situations where I had to shut down Meebo and switch back to Yahoo to send files. Now that this function is working with Meebo, there is little reason to switch back to Yahoo. One less thing to worrry about with all these new tools. Kudos to the Meebo team for finally releasing this enabling function.

The meebo widget allows you to add meebo to your sidebar, quickly and easily.

What is Meebo?

Meebo is a web based IM that lets you log into your IM networks from any computer with a browser and internet connection with no firewall issues. It employs technologies (like AJAX) to make it act more like a desktop application, which dramatically improves usability. Many users enjoy the benefits of a native DHTML application, as it does not consume as many system resources as a Java applet (such as ICQ2Go or Yahoo Web Messenger).

Good job, Patrick, you probably have no idea how much this will help the real estate community!

 

This is a really good plugin, because you can now make unlimited single property websites, and people can contact you immediately from any of them, how cool is that!! This is what I call a spider web of lead capture sites.

I just got one, but I’m scared to respond because what if it is a spammer that sent out millions of text messages and waits for people to respond to get their number, then they sell the info the other companies?

I usually only get text messages from Verizon, telling me to upgrade my text messages to accept more text messages, or telling me that my bill is way over due…I’m a huge procrastinator.
But what if its not a spammer, and the text message really, really needs to make it to the desired location?

The message said, “Sam Don’t forget physical fifth period”.

What is Sam misses the physical and his life is ruined?
Then again, if I was a spammer and sent a text message, I would make it sound a lot more urgent, like “Sam I need that report ASAP or your ass is fired!”

dilemmas  of a high tech world…
