A source close to the matter said that Meebo's staff would be joining the Google+ team. (UPDATE: Google has confirmed this.) The company has not yet determined the fate of Meebo's existing products, which includes a messaging app and social toolbar.
News that the two companies were in acquisition talks was first reported by AllThingsD in mid-May. Both companies declined to comment publicly on the discussions at the time.
Meebo was founded in 2005 as a messaging app for the browser, a product that still exists as Meebo Messenger. The Mountain View, California-based startup has since developed an expanding suite of social and mobile apps for consumers as well as publishers, each designed to enable online communication.
