Meebo is deleting all of the negative feedback so the blog isn’t telling the real story- sorry meebo

Just a quick note, you might want to blur the image a bit more. I could read the usernames of every single contact listed, as could anyone else with good eyes.

i almost always use meebo – more often so than the actual yahoo messenger client.

i just disable the ads and use a custom skin

Clicking is overrated. When you watch a tv commercial, you’re not clicking anything. It’s there, it’s big, it’s in your face, and through repetition, you remember it. Hey, next time you’re looking to purchase, you might even think of it.

Meebo did a good job with this. I’d rather go to this than stupid Google AdSense everywhere. At least this can look nice.

How is this different than what GameSpot (as well as others) have been doing for years? Check out http://gdc.gamespot.com/ or http://www.game....html?navclk=pc .

Personally, I love how GameSpot integrates the ad into the layout of the site. The current Verizon one isn’t that great, but there have been some really good ones in the past.

well pissing of people is very subjective.. i loved the new facebook layout, but i guess millions of other people didn’t agree with me . The fact that adblock can’t block it pisses me off

At first I thought I had been taken over my spyware, but then read the Meebo explanation. It is better than more intrusive advertising.

I love Meebo and I like the fact that is free. If it requires some unobtrusive advertising, I guess that’s the price we pay. Pun intended.

Yes, they should carry Google ads…because everyone wants to know how to make 10MM in two weeks…

I think that it is innovative because they have figured out how to get the biggest ad placement possible without pissing off the users to the extent that they leave. Perhaps it is not so much innovative as it is gutsy.

It is a great idea, even if 20% of the users hate it SO what. If 1 or 2% click on it, it is just as good as banner ad’s as long as usability doesn’t suffer.

Pandora has been using a similar implementation of this idea for a while. Although in the case of Pandora, the ad changes when the user interacts with the player (skip songs, rate, etc). This way more than one advertiser/sponsor could benefit from the eye balls.

I wonder if this would be the next step in the meebo implementation and whether tit will eventually get applied to their embedded player/chat room.

How is this innovative? Pandora’s been doing this for years…
