Adium to Integrate Twitter by IM - ReadWriteWeb. Popular Mac multi-service IM software Adium will include sophisticated support for Twitter in its next version, Adium has announced on its blog. Instant messaging access has been shut off for months and isn't coming back any time soon, the company confirmed in October, but Adium has built its own system. Adium's Zac West posted screenshots to the official blog and the implementation looks great. The plan was announced this weekend but just now noticed by The Unofficial Apple Weblog. The gist of the plan is that all your Twitter friends will be added as Adium contacts, messaging them individually will send a "direct message" via Twitter and the bulk of people you are following will have their messages delivered in a group chat. Each individual Tweet will be followed by a link to reply and the frequency of updates will be customizable.
Many people will want to track certain search terms of tags on Twitter in Adium and West says he's hoping that will be possible soon. TinyChat.com - Create a free chatroom.

And while people may be gathering and chatting in Web-based IM interfaces like GTalk, Facebook Chat, and MySpace Chat, that user base is relatively insignificant compared to the untold millions of others who live and breathe in online communities outside those walled gardens. Meebo, the leading “IM in the browser” play, realizes this. And with Community IM, they’re hoping to capitalize on it, by incorporating XMPP/Jabber IM into any Web-based community. If early numbers are any indication, they’re going to be wildly successful. Meebo Community IM was announced in July of this year with a select group of partners that included PopSugar, Tagged, Pixo, Addicting Games, The Insider (CBS), DanceJam, Flixter, MyYearbook and SparkArt.
So how many users could that long-tail of communities garner for Meebo? Slated to launch this fall, the movie site Flixster will be the first out of the gates on the platform. And that’s just the beginning.
