Having subscribed a month or so ago to the Techcrunch comments feed it has been an interesting conversation following Mike’s original Meebo review. Mike has had to close down the comments page of that post as there are so many people using it just like an internet chat room asking others ‘How can I get to that site as my school has blocked it?’
