"... has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Google!". Does that mean that they are expecting some sort of regulatory review before it's a done deal or is it just standard speak?
Anyways, I'm happy for Meebo team. I'm following them for a while and they seem to be really good guys. Especially, their founding team.
I assume shortly we'll be seeing new postings from Google on what new personal information they'll be adding to the Google brain from Meebo.
Looks like the site is getting crushed, I can't load the page.
Meebo definitely went through its nine lives. I wonder what Google was trying to acquire through this purchase.
Early rounds were rumoured to be done at $200m valuations so with liquidation preferences I'm not sure how much this really leaves on the table after the investors are paid.
To me this makes sense as Meebo has really transformed themselves from a "chat" company to an "advertising toolbar" company. They (for better or worse) absolutely dominate the annoying popup toolbar at the bottom of a website market. Ex: http://www.slate.com
