I’ve turned a number of people onto Meebo (an aesthetically-pleasing web-based instant messaging client) since posting about it here a while back. I see that the service is seeing fairly dramatic growth, with Michael Arrington saying that Meebo’s founder tells him the site is average 250,000 logins a day, that coming a mere 12 weeks after launch.
Assuming said founder is not blowing VC-seducing smoke, that is impressive stuff: a day-over-day compound growth rate of 14%, which means the number of Meebo users doubles every 5 days. Using the newly-established del.icio.us baseline, with its 300,000 users, the implicatioon is that Meebo should be acquired any moment now for $30mm or so, right? Riiiiight.
