Hundreds of chat friends? Manage them with the Meebo app

Why install a dozen chat apps, if you can use one to chat with accounts from many? Meebo is a free Anroid IM app which allows you to simultaneously login and chat with nearly sixty different types of IM accounts!

Meebo allows you to send and receive instant messages from multiple IM platforms in a single app, supporting more than I’ve ever heard of, including all the major ones like AIM, MSN, Facebook, Yahoo, MySpace IM, Google Talk, Jabber and ICQ. 


 
Login to any of your chatting platforms or create a single Meebo ID for linking all of your chat clients. After registration, connect multiple chat clients to your Meebo account by selecting them and giving Meebo access to connect with them. 


 
Once linked, Meebo can send and receive messages from them all on a single platform. Meebo saves chat history and a collective history log can be accessed as well. 


 
You can also view status updates and conversations on your accounts and check to see who’s online. 


 
The Meebo app can run in the background while you continue doing other work on your Android device. You can set it up so that your device vibrates or sets off an alarm when you have a new message.

This app is great, not just because it reduces clutter on your device but because you can accommodate all of your different networks of friends on different IMs without having to switch between programs.
