This blog from Meebo:

Update: We had some issues with a provider and they should be fixed right now. If you had trouble reaching Meebo, we apologize! Thanks for your patience!

Our users are awesome. I know we say this a lot, but it's true.

First, there's the continuous stream of feedback and suggestions that we receive from users and has shaped how we improve Meebo. Features like custom buddy icons, saved IM history, and a version of Meebo for the iPhone are all a direct result of comments from our users, either through the surveys we ask you to fill out from time to time or from your contacting us directly.

We also get our own non-celebrity version of fan mail. From around the globe, we get postcards and emails from people who are using Meebo while on their travels—cuz you all know how cool it is to be able to access your IMs from any computer, on any network, at any time (end totally self-indulgent PR message )—and want to drop a line to thank us. We proudly display many of the postcards on a wall in the entryway to the Meebo office.

And then there are the serious Meebo fans. Some of our users get so excited about our service, they do things like taking pictures of themselves wearing Meebo t-shirts in some distant locale, or using the Meebo service on a laptop in a strange place, and they send us a photo or two.

I was recently reminded about something cool that one of our users did last summer with the Meebo logo. Pat wrote in to let us know that he used the car livery editor in Forza Motorsport 2 on the Xbox 360 to make a virtual Meebo racecar, using multiple layers of gradients to make our logo sparkle just right.

So here are links to three pics, for your viewing pleasure, of the Meebo Nissan Skyline R34 as seen in Forza Motorsport 2.

Thanks Pat, and thanks to all the other Meebo users out there!

Looking forward to more postcards and photos from faraway places,

Greg
