It's worked pretty well, though we have a few minor issues: (1) Our (librarian) Mac users still have to use Meebo; Adium would generally be a good tool, but they lack a plug-in. (2) We'd like to allow people with Google Talk to message us, too, but we run into the same problem. It seems like it should be a pretty straightforward matter to simply tweak Mr. Pomeroy's plugin (since both Google Talk and the Meebo widget are based on an XMPP protocol), but sadly, my coding-fu is not up to snuff. We've had a few other minor problems, but nothing I'd be able to identify as a systemic problem.

This solves several annoying problems! We monitor IM in a loud, busy area and it's tough to hear the little meebo beep. With Pidgin, I can record my dogs barking as an alert. Thanks!
