What Meebo started up with great enthusiasm appears to be heading down the drain as it announced removal of its support for Facebook chat. Facebook had never actually supported the idea from day one therefore it doesn’t surprise anyone. The two had been actively discussing on how things could further go on before Facebook finally decided to take the social network from Meebo. In a statement issued, Meebo stated:

We have been speaking to the Facebook team, and it turns out, they’d like us to connect to their network in a different way. In the interim, they asked us take Facebook off Meebo, and we said “okay.”

However, we were glad to hear that the Facebook team was genuinely excited to see their network on Meebo, especially since they already have plans to open Facebook Chat. They also committed resources from their Chat and Facebook Connect teams to do extra work with us to get Facebook Chat back on Meebo “really, really soon.”
