Meebo Rolls Out XAuth (Extended Authentication) Tool
Meebo, which allows Web users to integrate multiple communications services like Facebook and AOL Instant Messenger in one interface, has launched a new tool called XAuth (Extended Authentication), which automatically recognizes the social platforms a person is actively using—allowing them to connect with other friends on a participating publisher’s site.
