Take a look at this post about using Trillian to connect to Meebo. After using Trillian, I won’t go back to Pidgin.

A google search found your problem, but no real solutions. I too dream of a day when my Meebo plugin won't crash Pidgin at least once a day. Not every day but at least 5 days a week. Sometimes more. Every so often... it goes into a crash loop and won't restart without fail. If I go into the Pidgin plugins folder and delete the meebo plugin it works again. A week later, I try it again and it works for a day or few. Meebo is on my personal web site and web cam so random strangers pop in and off all day. My usage may be different than some, but these random HI chatters seldom want to wait around long enough for me to detect them and load the meebo web site and reply. They're often gone. Every new Pidgin update gives me hope, and then they crash too. sigh. I have no solution to resolve the overall issue, other than deleting the meebo plugin for a week, but I REALLY REALLY want one... so I post here hoping you have found, or will find a solution one day... and remember me. If nothing else, maybe I used some keywords in my reply and more people will find us in Google and help. MEEBO CRASHES PIDGIN is a real problem I don't want to live without.
