Meebo Gets The Classic Google Acq-hire Treatment: Most Products To Shut Down Soon

meebo-logoLooks like a talent acquisition. Smells like a talent acquisition.Meebo, the chat and publishers tools company that Google acquired for roughly $100 million, is going to see most of its products shut down next month. That includes Meebo Messenger, the sharing widgets and mobile apps.The one major product that will keep running is that Meebo Bar. (Yes, that one.) Haters aside, Meebo Bar does actually generate some meaningful revenue for publishers, but it sometimes irks visitors with ads that pop up from the bottom, left-hand side of the page.All of the products, except for the bar, will go down on July 11.
