Charm City

Sailing in the Inner Harbor. Artscape festival in Mt. Royal. A quirky coffee shop. Old Bay. Vaccaro's delicious cannoli's in Little Italy. Cobble stone streets. Movies at the Senator. Hollins Market. Charles Village colorful homes. Penn Station. Books from the Pratt Library. The American Visionary Art Museum. Patterson Park. Baseball at Camden Yards. Crab cakes at Lexington Market. Natty Beer.

For these reasons and so much more, I love Baltimore. I have fallen in love with Charm City and my feelings are simply unexplainable. It's something between me and the city- 'My City'. I love how it maintains keeping it's past identity but also strives to create something new. But most of all I love the feeling I get when I drive into Baltimore City and how it welcomes me back. This city is my new home- my home away from home. All my memories from it are now a part of it's history forever. So, to Baltimore, 'My Lady B!'

And now I share my love for Baltimore with you...

Do Baltimoreans Use Meebo?

Meebo is a Web-based instant messaging application similar to AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, and so forth. The types of instant messaging programs that I have used or currently use include AOL Instant Messenger, Google Talk, Skype chat and Facebook chat. Each of these messaging applications have a variation of similarities and differences to Meebo. However, Meebo has some very distinct advantages in comparison to these programs. Below are some of the top five reasons to use Meebo over other programs.

1) No Software To Install
In order to user Meebo the user doesn't need to install any software to use it. The user simply goes to Meebo.com, sign's on, and can instantly message their friends or contacts right from the browser window.
When a user creates a Meebo account, they can sign into all their IM accounts at once and chat in a single integrated buddylist. Additionally, this allows the user to sign onto their Meebo instant messenger from any computer and have all of their settings available.

2) Message Friends On All Networks
Meebo has the ability to support all the major networks, including AIM, Yahoo!, Windows Live, Google Talk, ICQ, and Jabber. It also supports social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace.

3) Endless Features
There are a lot of fun features on Meebo that are not found on common programs like AIM. It allows users to set custom backgrounds and buddy icons, transfer files with people, and save conversation history if needed. Uers can also launch applications like games and video chat.

4) The Meebo Notifier
Meebo permits users to close their browser window but still be signed on the program. The Meebo Notifier is a tray icon that allows a user to stay signed into Meebo even when their browser is closed. It allows for automatic sign-on and it provides notifications when users receive a message or a buddy signs on or off.

5) Use Meebo On Phones
Users can access their Meebo accounts on their phone or mobile device. There are apps for both the iPhone and Android, but a user can also sign on from any wireless device by simply going to the website.
