Kara Visits Meebo!
Last week, I visited Meebo, the Web-based instant messaging company, at their headquarters on Castro Street in Mountain View, Calif.
Why? Well, like a lot of Web 2.0 companies, because it’s a hot and hyped little start-up with a fast-growing audience for its–wait for it!–widgets!
But Meebo makes actually useful widgets, such as its flagship unified instant messaging offering. Thus, in an endless sea of useless and juvenile apps, that immediately makes BoomTown happy and interested.
And, backed by Sequoia Capital and Draper Fisher Jurvetson, it also has a solid team, although it is one still in search of a much more solid business plan.
