Other similar implementations were either DMCA'd off of various platforms or had their domains seized by lawyers, their legal actions go back a few years already
I suppose the emoji version survives because it doesn't infringe on their word list or patent, which specifically is for "words"
I've been using the (old) Meebo Messenger for years. I've never had the impression that they cared about its users a lot. There were no updates on the user interface since I began using it, they didn't add features that were highly requested on the feedback forums.
The toolbar thing is just... I don't know what that is. Looks useless to me.
Another thing, are there any good other web based multi messengers? I guess they will shut this down soon then?
