Use messenger without installing - meebo , iloveIM and the like



Oftentimes, you'll have to use a computer which does not have your preferred messenger is not installed. What should you do ? Downloading and installing the messenger may not work out if you are not logged in as administrator.

One option is to use that messenger's web service. I know that Yahoo and MSN have it.
http://webmessenger.msn.com/
http://messenger.yahoo.com/ See the bottom of the page "Launch Web Messenger"

But these require Java to be installed and enabled and ther computer I'm using now doesn't even have Java or Flash installed.

That's when u use
meebo.com or iloveim.com or ebuddy.com or others

I really don't know how trustworthy these sites are to give your password and login information and I would really appreciate it if anyone can clarify this.

By joining meebo, you'll have access to all of your previous IM conversations. You'll also be able to save preferences such as logging into multiple screen names at once, sounds and appearance customizations.

And it's completely free!

Here's what Danny says in their about page :
I’m Danny, and I wrote this quick and handy guide that should help answer some questions and get you started.

First off, what’s meebo? No, it’s not a Star Wars character, nor is it a tropical three-toed animal (kudos if you can make it one though…) meebo connects you with your instant messaging buddies from absolutely anywhere for free. Whether you’re at home, on campus, at work, or traveling foreign lands, hop over to meebo.com on any computer to access all of your buddies and chat with them, no downloads or installs required!

So … who uses meebo? meebo users come from all walks of life and from all over the world. meebo users are high school and college students, soldiers stationed abroad, young professionals, librarians and teachers, and bloggers and techies. meebo lets you instant message your buddies everywhere. Hop on any computer, go to meebo.com, with no download required, chat with your buddies on a bunch of IM networks. Yahtzee.
