If you're a meebo user, which I am, here is what it does: It allows you to see (or hide) your buddy list (one of them) while youre on other tabs. A tab with your normal Meebo must be open as well. Basically it does what I suspect most meebo users don't want, that is to make their instant messages more intrusive. As Nate said, this plugin/extension is rather worthless.

Hopefully they are going in this direction!

The sell point of meebo is being web based and not having to install, yet people need to go to the mozilla site to install the add-on. Next.., you are not really msging from the add-on.., it is really just providing the toast functionality.,. and when you click on the toast i behaves the same as if you click on the meebo site tab. By default without the add-on.., the browser window with blink if you are in a different window and there is a new msg.., same goes for the tab if you are on a different tab in the same browser. Also.., you still have to go to meebo to msg.., instead of having to type the url the add-on opens and tab and logs you in. To add to Guthri.., AIM also has a web based version..,and quite a nice API/SDK.
