Meebo hits a milestone

Meebo announced yesterday that they hit the 500,000 user mark. I remember the first time I saw Meebo and wondered who would use this service. Over time I have learned that they really do provide an excellent value. Even if you just look at it as not having to install all the individual tools. But this is an example of a company that embraces their users, welcomes feedback and really is a shining star for the Web 2.0 and web apps market.

Some notes from the release:

How many times do people login every single day? 950,000!! You may ask how many of those are “unique?” About 670,000. It turns out most of you happen to log in about 1.4 times per day. Oh, and here’s another interesting one… how many network accounts do you all log in with on average? Also 1.4…which means 1.35 million network ID are logged in daily. Over 3.5 million unique individuals log into meebo every month, and on a daily basis you’re all sending and receiving a mere 57,000,000 messages.

I have requested an interview with them and hopefully we will have it up within a week. I want to find out what's next and whether they will look at somehow working with Skype as well.
