"Meebo got me to drop my IM client when they added Facebook Chat back in December.  Unfortunately, Facebook soon after pulled the plug on the service, mainly because they wanted Meebo to use Facebook Connect to access user\u2019s friend\u2019s lists, as founder Seth Sternberg described in a blog post last month.  \nToday, that implementation has been completed, and Facebook Chat will return to Meebo.  That\u2019s great news for users like me, who can now communicate not only with our buddies on AIM, GChat, and the other networks that Meebo supports, but also social networks (Meebo supports MySpace too).  It\u2019s also great news for Facebook, who stands to introduce the Connect concept to millions of new users, who in turn will become more comfortable as they see Facebook logins pop up on more sites around the Web.  \nWhile we don\u2019t know exactly how much overlap there is between Meebo and Facebook users, it\u2019s safe to assume that the number is in the millions.  And while Connect is growing in popularity, big launch partners like Digg and Twitter are yet to rollout their implementations, making Meebo the biggest fish in the pond so far.  \nFacebook Chat should be up-and-running again on Meebo at some point this afternoon."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
