Bringing more immediacy to Facebook apps from BuddyMedia, (fluff)Friends, RockYou, Slide, The Broth and the WaterCooler, Web-based instant messaging startup Meebo is now letting Facebook developers add chat to their apps through a new partner program. Basically, these are versions of Meebo Rooms inside Facebook that can be customized and skinned any way the app developer wants. They integrate with Facebook’s registration system (no Meebo account required), include traffic and advertising tracking, and automatically create new overspill chat rooms when one fills to capacity.
Meebo also announced that it is reaching more than 20 million people a month, most of those through Meebo widgets like the ones that will be created through this partnership with Facebook app developers. Meebo.com itself gets 6.5 million unique visitors a month, according to the company. The rest is widget traffic.
Here is what eBuddy’s Acebucks Sudoku game looks like in Facebook with chat underneath.

Is MyBlogLog going to add chat?
Click on one of the fellow visitors listed and up comes an ajax chatbox.
Off topic, but I just saw someone I wanted to thank(don’t know personally yet) listed on TC’s MyBlogLog and thought darn where is the chat! Hopefully they’ll add that soon

Does anyone know if meebo has an OpenSocial compatible version? If so I’d lik it for my site…
The last sentence…. where you named ebuddy.com you probably meant Meebo. eBuddy is the european web based IM chat app and is at least as big as Meebo.
i would love meebo to crush facebook.
@ Patrick, interesting why there is little coverage about eBuddy.
I noticed eBuddy is the number 7th fastest rising search word in Google

Now, that’s a smart move!
@Patrick & @martin chevalier: eBuddy isn’t mentioned that often. Don’t know why. They are often more innovative then Meebo but are other overlooked. Maybe because they were founded in Amsterdam and not SF?
Just use MS Messenger people! For goodness sake!
