(Founder Stories) Seth Sternberg On The Early Days Of Meebo: "We Did Not Get It." 

Meebo, which connects users with their friends across social platforms, emerged from the ashes of an idea Seth Sternberg and his team had for "file sharing between friends that had IM in it." Those early days of development saw more misses than hits""kind of depressing" says Sternberg in this episode of Founder Stories.After more than a year of tinkering, Meebo finally found its magic formula and launched in 2005. Right from the get-go they heard from their users, but admittedly didn't totally grasp the scope of what they created. As Sternberg admits, "a lot of commerce sites were calling, bloggers were calling and we did not get it."
