Meebo is a web instant messenger that currently supports AIM & ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Jabber & GTalk and MSN. Instead of installing the instant messenger itself you simply login using the Meebo website which offers the same functionality as the standalone messenger.

Many schools and universities already banned the Meebo website from their networks and it was almost impossible to access Meebo from within the network. The Meebo team created a application called Meebo repeater which acts as a proxy and makes it possible again to use Meebo from within the network. The only catch is that it has to be running on a computer all the time, they suggest you run it from your computer at home which would mean you should pay a flat fee for the internet, otherwise this would not be practical.

All you have to do is download the Meebo repeater from the Meebo website, unpack it and run it. The Meebo repeater will automatically configure the service and tell you the internet address that you will have to use to connect to Meebo. You might have to configure your firewall to allow Meebo repeater access to the net.

Meebo repeater is open source and able to use SSL and standard connections to the Meebo network. If you can’t live without Meebo use th Meebo repeater, works great.

That sounds like a lot of work just to be able to instant message during class, but it is an ingenious idea for those that can’t live without it.

Thanks.

I always like to see these work arounds. Its great the even the company helps with this. We had pagers back in the day and we werent allowed to have them in school, oh how cool that vibrate function was. The teacher never knew (or if they did they didnt care).

I would strongly recommend against using Relakks. I signed up for a month with them, and they wouldn’t let me cancel.

After emailing their customer support, which is useless, I had to contact Mastercard to stop them from charging me.

They had made a total of 3 unauthorized payments to my card.
