Meetro UB released

When we last looked at Meetro, Dan wasn't that impressed since it didn't support other IM services and the interface needed work. Nonetheless, "the world's first location-aware IM client and real-time social network" continues to plug along, and they have finally released a Universal Binary of their client. The new version adds, according to Infinite Loop, "richer profiles (you can now import your favorite feeds from Flickr, YouTube, and other RSS directly into your profile) and similar interest highlighting." So maybe it's worth another look.

The Meetro client is a free download and of course requires a free Meetro account.

Meetro looks like it will send the invites to every one on your MySpace, or Gmail, or Yahoo or whatever, but it lists all the friends or contacts out, and lets you uncheck the ones that you don't want. Of course if you have a lot, it sucks, but better than nothing.

However, it's still buggy, and yes there's like hardly anyone on. But, if it ever catches on, I'll have the satisfaction of being a trendsetter... (heh-heh)

Meh, There're only two other people on in the entire Los Angeles area, and one of them is a Meetro developer! It's a cool concept, but I'd rather it be an additional feature of a currently existing IM network.

Yawn. I don't care what kind of gimmicky features Meetro has now, you'd have to pay me to switch from Adium.

It's being reported in the Ars comments of the same story that Meetro wants to log you into your MySpace page, and will then send invites to all your MySpace friends without asking permission to do so.

Too clever by half. No thanks.

gave me a problem too, but it still worked when I tried logging in. Seems to not be very popular, no one is on near me..

I just... can't... quite... create an account. It just doesn't let me do it!
