Because I am one chatty motherfucker today....


Has anybody used Boxbe before? I like the basic idea but I'm really leery of giving them the kind of access they need to do that job.

Is it anything like Meebo?

I haven't actually looked to see what a Meebo is, but Boxbe is a service that logs into your mail account and checks the address of inbound mail. When it hits an address it doesn't recognize, it sends a note back saying "Hey, if you go to this URL and tell me you're a real person then I'll put this into their inbox for you." The concept of which I like a lot.

Meebo is a browser based chat client...log in once and you're in on Yahoo, ICQ, MSN, AIM, etc. without having to download anything.
