Meebo is Great

I've got to say I'm very impressed with Meebo. If you've been to Windy Road recently, you may have noticed the chat widget on the side, that allowed you to IM me, without needing to go to another page or download some software.
Well, now Meebo has released a chat room feature and I've updated the widget accordingly. It was just so easy to add to the site and it just works. Round of applause for Meebo.
The only problem I do have is that because I'm an early adopter, the Windy Road Chat Room happens to be quite popular and thus is getting a lot a random chatters dropping in, who know nothing about Windy Road or any of it's article or software. I'm kind of dreading what's going to happen to the room when I'm not online tonight.

OK, so maybe Meebo isn't as great as I thought, or at least it's widgets aren't. I ended up removing the embedded chat room because it was simply blowing out the page load times by a huge amount. Oh well.
