I've been getting a lot of questions about this since Andreas' blog post went up, so I think everyone deserves a bit of explanation of what the MeBeam video plugin is and isn't.

The MeBeam plug-in is:

  1. Pretty spiffy :)
  2. Developed almost entirely by a third party
  3. Primarily web-based

The MeBeam plug-in is not:

  1. A product of the Adium Team (Andreas works on it, but not as part of Adium—he works on it separately from the Adium Project)
  2. The long-awaited Adium video chat solution
  3. Taking any development resources at all away from that solution (the plugin is extremely simple)
  4. Included with Adium by default
