Messaging
Meebo IM
This multi-purpose Evo application lets you Tweet as well as remain logged in to several different instant messaging protocols. These include Yahoo, AOL, ICQ, MSN, Facebook, and GTalk. The interface is pulls all of these disparate services very nicely into a single app without appearing too cluttered and noisy. You can remain logged in to multiple chats at the same time. Unlike some of the other poorer quality IM apps out there, Meebo uses your HTC Evo data plan instead of text messages to transfer chats.
One drawback that several users have reported on is the tendency for the app to drain the battery on extended use in the background. This isn’t really a fault of the app – most IM apps do have this tendency, and the problem is no doubt exacerbated due to multiple accounts being logged in simultaneously. Judicious use of the app, and remaining logged in to only those protocols that you are using, should allow you to keep battery usage at manageable levels. Meebo IM is an excellent multi-protocol instant messaging app for your HTC Evo.
