Meebo and Netvibes Are Closing In On Greatness

Recently Meebo and Netvibes teamed up and there is a good chance that this can be a huge hit. The Meebo implementation opens in a separate tab in NetVibes but makes a sound to notify you of new IM messages if you’re on the main NetVibes tab. (Techcrunch)

I love the concept of Meebo becoming an option at Netvibes, but it is just falling short of brilliance. Honestly the great thing about Netvibes is that all that everything you need is on a single page. Yes some people have so much, that they need the tabs; but the option to put Meebo on the same page as most of your feeds would be monumental. The best way to go about this is to possibly minimize everythign, and have the buddy lists and chat windows come to the forefront. If Meebo and Netvibes could work that out, Netvibes could EXPLODE!
