Yayy! It's Chat Time on GoAnimate With Meebo!

Hello GoAnimators!

We have just introduced a new feature that you guys have been wanting for quite a while! It took us a bit, but we think we found a good one that will work well with the site. Meebo is easy to use and alot of fun. Now, you can chat with your fans and friends right on the GoAnimate site! If you only plan to use Meebo to chat with your GoAnimate friends then you will not even need to register for an account. The feature is fully integrated with the site.

Meebo lets their users gather their friends and form a single "Buddy" list where you guys can communicate in real time across different IM platforms, communities, and other social networks. Users can keep in touch with friends across dozens of IM platforms, including AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, Google Talk, MySpace IM, Facebook Chat, and more. If you would like to import your friends list from other platforms, you will need to sign up for an account. For more information or support you can visit Meebo.

You will notice that there is now a Meebo Chat bar that sits at the bottom of the page. Below you will see what it will look like when you log into GoAnimate now.





To get started, you will need to become a Fan of the person/people that you wish to chat with. Then you can click Add Friend from their profile page. But it works both ways in order to start chatting. They will also need to Fan you and click to add you as a Friend in order for them to show up on your Meebo Friends list. Once you have your friends list set up, you will be able to see when they are online and available to chat.

Another pretty cool thing about Meebo is you can easily share content with each other while you chat. If you notice in my picture above, there is an arrow on the bottom left that points to a link to "Share Page". So, if you are talking to someone and want them to check out an animation or maybe a specific thread in the forum, click this link and drag it into your chat box.

Now if for some reason you wish to no longer be chat buddies with someone, you can simply go to their profile page and click Remove Friend. Hopefully, you guys will have lots of fun and put this new feature to good use!
