Meebo, the chat widget tool, had already launched its own ad network some time ago. Now the company is launching ads on its own partner network, with Toyota being the first marketer to advertise. With 85 publishers signed up for its partner network, Meebo is enabling brands to run ads on a larger scale directly through Meebo’s company, with the same results they’ve grown accustomed to on Meebo.com.

What’s this really mean? In Meebo’s long-standing effort to expand its own network, web presence and visibility, the integrated communication tool has launched several tools and gained several partners, many of which have teamed up with the company for marketing purposes. This is in part due to the fact that Meebo’s integrated communication tools enable brands to connect directly with consumers through multimedia brand messages, chat, and advertisements.

Meebo has made some major upgrades to one of its product services, the Meebo Bar. As a turnkey solution for integrating chat into a site where those site users can interact directly with each other, the Meebo bar enabled a community feel within any integrated destination site. The upgrade to this aspect of Meebo is the ability to pull all your chat buddies into your buddy list, regardless of which partner site you’re using to access Meebo. In short, any partner site with Meebo chat integration now supports all your chat buddies across the supported chat clients. As you may well know, these supported chat clients include AOL, Yahoo, Gchat, Facebook, and more.

The purpose of this particular upgrade is actually twofold; it not only brings a more comprehensive chat option to end users for seamless access to all their buddies, but it provides an easier and more direct way of sharing web content. To that end, another upgrade to Meebo is the sharing option, which allows users to share content from their current web page across chat, email, Facebook and Twitter. What we’re looking at here is a combining of direct media-sharing via chat with social web redistribution of content.
