So I got stuck using Meebo when I had to use my parents computer for a few weeks.

Now, Ive got a ton of chat logs generated, and I kinda like it. The only thing I dont like is having to have Firefox open to use it.

Is there a PC app that I could download and install and use it? I know that kind of defeats the purpose, but I like it a little more than Trillian, because it has my chat logs saved there, and I can view them when Im away from my PC.

So, anyone know of anything like that?

why do you need firefox?

What kind of files are they?  You can probably open it up in Notepad.

It runs in the internet browser, since obviously you have never used Meebo. I could easily run it in IE, FF, Flock, etc, but the point is that a browser is much more heavy than a standalone app.

Im not entirely sure if you can export it. I dont really want to export it either.

I was using history.im to keep my chat logs backed up, but that wont be free in a few weeks, and I dont like having them on my PC, because its a pain to back up (and store) 2.5gb of chat logs (thats about three months worth).

Its just easier to let Meebo keep it all on their servers.

What is Meebo again? Just another multi-client program?  If so you could always just go back to Trillian, or even AIM itself...  All of the standard IM programs have an option to log chats nowadays.

Meebo is web-based, everything saves on their servers which is what the OP would like.

Yeah, those are about the same things I found to.

Im surprised there isnt anything like this. Ill just keep looking, because there has to be!

And as someone else pointed out, the reason I like Meebo is because its all stored on THEIR servers, I dont have to worry about keeping backups of chat logs, or paying to keep mine saved.
