meebo.com, el cliente IM más conocido, ahora permite el envio de archivos.

When Matt, our server intern, joined us this summer we talked about a lot potential projects he could tackle. Here at meebo we like to give the interns free reign to try out a bunch of stuff but at the same time, incorporate as much as we can into the main product.

Matt, being the enthusiastic guy he is, picked the meatiest project we could throw at him for the summer. Ever since meebo launched almost 2 years ago, there’s been a front-runner of feature requests that has always made our lists. On almost every release, it manages to sneak into a comment, a blog comment, a forum post, and many an email… hence why it made the intern project list. With Vijay’s help, Matt has been working hard to bring you all one of the most highly requested features in meebo’s history… drum roll please… file transfer!

You’re thinking, “no way!!!” Way!

You’ll notice that there’s a new bright and shiny button on the IM window toolbar (the white square with the swanky green arrow). We’ve tried to make the whole transfer process as easy as we could, so all you have to do is click a button and upload a file. The receiver on the other end will get a link to click on (similar to a meebo rooms invite) and all they have to do is click and accept. We’re only allowing meebo account holders to send files, but anyone can receive… even your friends who are not on meebo (but should be =p). We’re not quite supporting this feature in Safari yet, but hopefully soon!

In addition we’ve thrown in a few more animated emoticons (check out “hug” in particular) and a few bug fixes as well. We’re super excited to see what you all think so please send us feedback and suggestions.

Matt and Vijay have already started cooking up a blog entry with more technical details if you all are interested, so expect that soon. Otherwise, enjoy!

cheers,
sandy
