Facebook chose an odd time to launch Rooms, its homage to the classic ’90s chatroom. AOL’s Instant Messenger, perhaps the icon of the anonymous instant-messaging age, quietly killed off its chat rooms in 2010. Our chat room is one of the busiest chat rooms on the chat service. When you login you have the option to chat randomly with many people from all over the world using a cam, mic and text. Yahoo Messenger axed its public chat rooms in 2012, explaining only that they weren’t a “core Yahoo! product.” And when MSN Messenger shuts down Friday in China, the last place where the service still operated, it will mark the conclusive end of the mainstream chatroom era. Our team is now working just a few miles down the road with the Google team, where we continue to focus on creating delightful experiences for our users, developers, and publishers. Meebo's products are no longer available, but you can find all the latest and greatest things that we're working on at https://developers.google.com/ /.
