I'm IMing (or not)

As you can see, I got the Meebo widget up on the ol' blog. I'm not sure it actually works, as my only buddies are offline at the moment, but we'll try again another time.

When I first heard about using IM at the reference desk, I thought it was a really dumb idea. But having an IM widget come up when a patron has an unsuccessful search in the catalog is quite possibly the most brilliant thing I've ever heard of. David Lee King is to be worshipped. So out-of-the-box.
