But there are a lot of options, even though Meebo croaked on us.

After reading I should probably play around with the other apps mentioned as well :)

I had bookmarked that too. Sadly, nothing in there is as neat and elegant a solution as meebome. I’m hanging out till July 11, hoping a last minute solution appears!

Looks like it’s something else entirely — some people may find it worthwhile, but it’s quite different from Meebo.

I can’t reccomend anything myself. However, I Googled up this post for you: http://libraryh3lp.blogspot.ca/2012/06/meebo-migrations-alternatives-for.html

It seems to have some good ideas that would be worth looking into. It’s too bad Google is pulling the rug out from under people on such short notice.

I’ve been trying to find something that will replace it. Any tips?

On my android and on my PC.

I don’t even have a instant messaging installed anymore.
It’s multiprotocol, its mobile, it’s lightweight.
So it’s just awesome.

You even can start discussions on it, with random people who are interested in the subject you start.
