IM on the road?

Just got introduced to one of the founders of a cool new project/company today called meebo. They have put together a great way to access your Yahoo!, AOL, MSN, or ICQ instant messenger accounts from the road without the need to download anything to a computer.

It's simple, all you do is go to the website and login to your preferred IM account. Then you can use IM inside of a browser window. I spent about 15 minutes playing with it, so not a deep dirt dive.

Seems to be getting some pretty heavy usage and great blog coverage (1, 2, 3, 4)  as well.
