meebo identities

Hi Everyone,

Apparently, IT is testing the meebo widgets. When I had my account and several other pages open Friday, I didn't see or hear that new messages were coming in. The tester got "cute" and typed some not-so-pleasant things indicating he was angry at my lack of response.

That got me to thinking, have you seen anything that will show who the sender is?

Over the weekend, I realized he could be anonymous by sending the message from the widget on my blog. At least that's what I'm guessing! But if he had his own IM account and had to use a specific IM address, we'd be able to tell who messages were coming from, right?

And in thinking of this as a tool for Reference, if we have to forward messages to someone else to handle how will they know who to reply to?
