Now this is cool. I've been thinking lately that a web-based instant messaging (IM) service like Meebo would be all the better if it could be easily integrated into other applications by making itself available as open source. Perhaps my support team could then build it into their support portal, for example?
Well, the folks at soashable have done just that. They've basically built a Meebo clone and licensed it under the GNU General Public License Version 2.
We've got DimDim for web conferencing. Ringside Networks for social networking. SoashableIM for web-based IM. All the tools are there to build some killer, open-source based websites.
