What if Flock included tones' extension by default in the next version and ask the user whether it should be activated or not? With increased support by the folks at meebo (if needed) this could turn out to be yet another advantage for Flock. No? And @JustinLee (#7): I understand your concern, but isn't this the same code that would've run inside a tab if the user had meebo opened in a window? I don't see how it would downgrade performance, but I could be wrong. Mike, since extensions are basically XUL and javascript(right?), that's why Justin was concerned with the ammount of JS code being processed by the browser at any given time.

As Michael Arrington points out, there should be no need to install a number of different software solutions inorder to IM people using different services (Cerulean Studios’s Trillian aims to do just that, but is software based instead of Web-based). Flock should seriously take a look into offering such as feature in their browser (Besides, they already integrate a number of third-party services - Why not more?!). Does any else know of some cool extensions for Firefox or Flock that change the way you experience computer?

Messenger 的服务。最近一位英国的开发人员“Tones” 为此编写了一个Meboo 插件，这个插件支持目前流行的两大开源浏览器Flock 和Firefox 1.5.0.4 ；以便你可以直接在浏览器左侧的导航栏当中直接运行Meebo. 如果你同时使用了上面的各种IM 服务，那么从此不需要再把他们全部安装到你的PC 上面了。你只需要一个Flock 或者Firefox 浏览器，还有一个Meebo 账号，便可以同时登录/使用这些即时聊天工具。 [...] [...] Meebo 提供的是一种允许用户在Web 页上面同时登录并且运行各种流行IM：包括 AIM / ICQ / MSN / GTalk / Jabber / MSN / Yahoo!

And, of course, I had to try it out and, like it has been mentioned already it, it works in exactly the same way as advertised. Quite nicely. With this new extension you would be able to access the IM protocols that Meebo was putting together already: AOL / ICQ, Yahoo, Google Talk / Jabber and MSN, but all of them nicely embedded on a sidebar so that you can continue browsing the Internet without losing eye contact with your buddies. As I said, pretty interesting capability that would certainly make Flock a truly Web 2.0 browser, because with extensions like ChatZilla, we now have the capability of collaborating and sharing knowledge both in real-time having IM and .I.R.C. capabilities and the standard offline capabilities of working with other asynchronous tools, like wikis, weblogs, social bookmarks, photo sharing, etc. etc. [...] [...] Download Squad, 21talks and Techcrunch have got all of them some very helpful reviews of how it actually works.

With the extension running, I'm hitting 70-80% of my 1.5G processor; without it, I jump back down to 30-40% (running email client, iTunes, and Excel). I love the idea of combining IM into Flock due to it's focus on social interaction. Let's hope some scripters (and possibly Meebo?) can help the original developer flesh out this extension into a necessary browser feature.

That is the great thing abou Meebo. This extension could be tied up on a USB key and take my IM client with me anywhere in the world, on almost any computer. Tones, if you remember the days of Flock 0.4, they didn't have auto-login for delicious bookmarks at first. Keep up the good work.
