Google shut downs Meebo Bar

Posted by Amit Pithadia On 08:40 No comments



Google has announced that it will be discontinuing its Meebo Bar publishing tool effective June 6, 2013 in order to divert more resources towards its Google+ Sign-In service (which includes interactive posts and over the air app installs) and other plug-ins for its social network. The Meebo Bar Dashboard and any analytics will remain active until June 30.

This particular product is currently something that Web publishers would add to their site in order to help make it easier for visitors to “discover, browse, and share content on their site.”

After June 6, 2013, the Meebo Bar will stop loading on any publisher sites. It has been recommended to remove the inactive Meebo code from your site as a general code housekeeping task. After June 6, 2013, any configuration changes you make to your Meebo Bar from your dashboard will have no effect. If you have created custom widgets that you would like to save, you can copy them from the custom button tool on your dashboard. New Meebo Bar creation has been disabled now..

If you added the Meebo Bar through your CMS tools (e.g. Blogger, Wordpress, TypePad) you should use those tools to remove the bar.
