Zorpia IM (powered by Meebo) is taking a big leap!
Meebo,
Zorpia’s IM chat provider has done major upgrades to their service, making it an even more useful tool for us chat-addicts. It's made the major shift from being a simple chat tool to a powerful sharing
service.
What’s in store for Zorpia IM (powered by Meebo)?
• Chat with your friends from ANY OTHER social networking site that has the Meebo chat bar too!
=> When you turn on your Meebo chat bar from Zorpia, you see which of your
friends are online here. With the new upgrade, you will see which of your friends are online in other Social Networking Sites that you are part of too! You'll be able to chat with them right from your Zorpia account. You won't need to log in to those other sites anymore just to chat with your friends.
• Share the links of the webpage you are currently on with any of your online friends in an instant! (no need for copy/paste)
=> By clicking on the “Share” button, you'll be able to instantly share a Zorpia page with your chat buddy and send them a link! You will also be able to send links and share things with your friends from other sites
that support the newly upgraded Meebo chat bar.
The new upgraded IM will come to Zorpia very soon, please stay tuned!
