The Meebo Bar


Some of you may have been wondering, “So, what’s that thing at the bottom of my screen?” The bar that appears on every page of this website is called the Meebo bar. It’s a neat little tool that allows easy access to all of your social media accounts right here on Sacandagalife.com!

There are a few different features of the Meebo bar. Here’s a quick summary of each feature to get you started:

Sharing Articles and Images

The first button on the bar (the “Share Page” button) allows you to easily share the page you are on via Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz, Yahoo!, and your email. You can share a link to your current page in addition to a personal message from anywhere on Sacandagalife.com! Also, If you want to share specific images and/or text, you can do so by hovering over an image and dragging it, or by highlighting a bit of text and clicking the Meebo button that will appear.

Chat

This is one of the coolest features of the Meebo bar. It allows you to chat through Facebook chat, AOL Instant Messenger, MySpace IM, and Google Talk simultaneously.
