Way to Go Meebo!

You invented IRC!

So Meebo's new Meebo Rooms feature launched last night, and it's a totally spectacular, original idea. It's like a chat room, but instead of just having a boring chat room, you can watch a video next to it. No more of that link and having to click-through shit for us. I mean, that shit was so complicated. And don't worry that the video will be really small, since everybody wants their videos to become smaller and smaller.

They also give you the spectacular feature of being able to style your room. Totally revolutionary. It's totally not like someone setting up their own ajax chat room and styling the page themselves. I guess that's just too complicated.

And wait, it's still better. You can still use all the IM features too, in separate windows that are still part of the same window, since having separate windows is just too hard nowadays. Everyone wants their windows inside of different windows inside of different windows. It'll be a recursive paradise!

And what's the icing on the cake? It's all done in AJAX. None of that flash crap for us. We like the soft, cuddly, memory leaking, high cpu usage features that only ridiculous AJAX can bring. Why use something like persistent connections, when we can just make a new HTTP request every time. That's using your noggin!
