First The Facebook Platform – Now VideoEgg Supports Meebo Platform

On Thursday, Meebo will announce a new partnership with VideoEgg to monetize the applications build on the Meebo Platform. We spoke with VideoEgg CMO Troy Young about their Facebook platform advertising and my guess is the same points will apply for the Meebo platform. And Troy added regarding the partnership, "The meebo Platform and partner applications offer an excellent environment to connect users to brand content. With this partnership, the Eggnetwork will grow well beyond the 50 million unique users we reach today."

Marshall calls Meebo a closed platform but I think his use of the word "closed" is incorrect. Meebo requires approval for applications to use the platform whereas Facebook allows anyone to create applications on its platform.

Over 40 multiuser and synchronous applications are available to meebo users today. Titles from 3rd Sense, Absolutist, AddictingGames, BladeSix, Clearspring Technologies, Come2Play, Feedhaus, Gamebrew, MeBeam, MediaGreenhouse, Mochi Media, Jiggmin, Kongregate, PlayFirst, Presidio Media, Pudding Media, TalkShoe, TokBox, Ustream.tv, uWink, wellgames, and ZeroCode exemplify the kinds of multiuser and synchronous applications being built on the meebo Platform every day.

Meebo has been making some huge moves recently including gaming and Joost for chat. Check out our interview with CEO Seth Sternberg as well. Meebo can no longer just be considered a Web IM client.
