Meebo was a free, in-browser chat client. It could synch up with virtually any popular chat client (and also had its own, which could import your buddy list from another client) and let you chat to your heart's content, within a Firefox tab.
This was super useful to me, because I like to run as few processes on my (absolutely terrible) computer as possible. Thus, running AIM (what I used to use) is an unnecessary system drain when I can just have a firefox tab to do my chattin' in.
But, Google bought meebo and killed it, which is annoying as all hell because they also didn't create an alternative... just just want me to use Google+ I guess. I have since tried imo.im but am finding it very mediocre.
So, I need a meebo replacement. Preferably it'd have the following features:
-Synchs up with AIM and my buddy list and such
-In-browser (no download required)
-Formatting (bold, italics, etc... not available on imo.im)
-Multi-party chatrooms (imo.im has this feature, but everyone else must be using imo.im as well, which is absolutely idiotic. Looking for something that could unite people under multiple clients (AIM, Trillian, etc), as meebo could)
-To continue from the above, it needs to be possible for me to be invited to other group discussions as well. imo.im of course does not allow this, unless the other user is also using imo.im. Once again, need this to be compatible with various clients.
I think that's all I need out of it. I'm not very particular about interface, since I'll just try all the options that fit the above criteria and see which one I dig the most.
Thanks in advance!
