Seems like there's a wrapper app like this that marks the peak of each generation of chat apps. Meebo used to be the sh*t.

Missing Meebo! It was truly ahead of its time. I remember the struggle of keeping just 10+ chat windows open, but man, it was a lot of fun to use!

Does that mean you can't use your own phone number if you're an Android user?

Yes. I am a beeper user and there is currently no mechanism to register phone numbers unless you own an iPhone.
