Meebo, my fave chat-through-the-web-site, has just released a widget through Meebo Me, which means that anybody who's registered (for free) through them can implement a (or, actually, many a) widget through their site, allowing people who don't have an instant messaging-client to message those who do, through a simple web-site.

I have just chucked one into my site. Scroll down a bit and check the right-hand side. You can now even make up an alias and insult me without worrying about assaults, but on the other hand you could be nice and say hi. Nice feature, we'll just see how it turns out.
