Meebo Auto-Away Chrome Extension

September 24, 2011

It’s been pretty quiet around here, but I’ve finally motivated myself to publish a new Chrome extension: Meebo Auto-Away. This superceeds my old desktop program, and provides much smoother functionality.

Meebo Auto-Away is a small extension that allows you to specify idle time (in seconds), and away message, and a back message. It will only function if you are signed into meebo.com in a Chrome tab.

When your computer has been idle for the specified number of seconds, your Meebo status will automatically be set to away using the provided message. When you return from being idle, you will automatically be set to available using the provided back message.

If you wish to hide the Meebo Auto-Away icon, you can right-click on it and select “hide icon”. You can still manage your settings by navigating to Tools->Extensions and clicking the “options” link for Meebo Auto-Away.

You can install the most up-to date extension from the Meebo Auto-Away Chrome Extensions site. Alternately, you can install this .crx file.

Questions, comments, and general feedback can be sent from my contact page.
