Meebo Embeds IM Into Firefox

Meebo Erick Schonfeld reports:

At the Meebo blog, it's explained that the company surveyed more than 11,000 of its users and found "79 percent said you use IM every day, 80 percent IM for an hour or more a day. 21 percent said they IM for 10 hours or more. Wow!"

That's a lot of use, and that's one more edge Firefox now has over Internet Explorer in the functionality department.
