Meebo team will work on Google+ tools for publishers

Google agreed with Meebo about its acquisition. The amount of the transaction is not officially disclosed, but earlier it was reported that Google will pay about $ 100 million for a seven-year startup.

Meebo employees will join the Google+ team. The fate of existing Meebo products, including the Meebo Messenger messenger and the Meebo Bar social toolbar, has not yet been determined.

According to TechCrunch, the Meebo team experience will be used to create Google+ tools for publishers. It is not known whether this means that we should expect some new Google+ toolbar, but, apparently, the existing features of Meebo Bar will be integrated into G +.

Meebo initially began to gain momentum because it offered a simple way for users to communicate between the protocols of Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, AOL messengers and, subsequently, services such as Facebook.

The company experimented with its platform, ultimately achieving some success with a toolbar that web publishers can add to their sites. This feature includes chat and a number of distribution options, as well as advertising.

About 100 million monthly active users (according to ComScore data for December last year) could theoretically also serve as a new place to promote Google’s social functions.
