The internet is quickly turning into a presence aware medium. Rather than passively delivering content, sites are becoming interactive hubs of communication. Meebo Community IM , an in-page chat platform offered by Meebo (think Facebok Chat) , has gained a lot of traction lately. College Humor, C-Net, Mozilla, WB, and a slew of others have implemented the client. Other sites are rolling out in-house solutions.  The New York Times released their own client, TimesPeople and YouTube is doing a public beta of YouTube Real.

This trend is a good thing. It’s streamlining the way people communicate and share information.
