It’s a web messenger that lets you access IM from absolutely anywhere. meebo supports msn, yahoo, aol/aim, google talk (gtalk), jabber and icq.

What is https? https is known as “Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer”, but now https may be secured by the Transport Layer Security (TLS) instead of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

To invoke https, we simply replace “http://” with “https://” in the Uniform Resource Locator (url), or Web address. https connections are often used for payment transactions on the Web and for sensitive transactions in corporate information systems.

By using https (https://www.meebo.com) instead of http (http://www.meebo.com), all the data is encrypted and protected for additional security. You can try it.  :)
