Heh, so if I start a website of my own, with pretty pictures and colours, will you give me your IM passwords as well?
I think Philip is raving mad! What prompted you to think that only meebo and not Yahoo!, Google or Microsoft will be having our IM passwords and sneaking into our privacy?
To be able to authenticate to Yahoo!, you need to know a username and password from that service. You are not supposed to share that with anyone else. Meebo is effectively able to MITM your IM conversations.
By the way I will greatly appreciate it if Philip is able to come up with a solution to IMing from behind a proxy.
There is always Jabber. Plus, if you _do_ need IM from work, you should be able to get a hole poked in the proxy. Alternatively, you could always telecommute, or even get another job.
