Buddy List in google side bar

[muke195]

I've been looking around on how to put a buddy list (aim, yahoo, etc.) into the side bar and I know a lot of other people have been looking for this too.

Here's how to do it!
1) click Add/Remove panels and check the Show activeX plug-ins
2)scroll down until you see Microsoft Web Browser and check it then hit OK
a new panel should be in your side bar
3)open up a web browser (fire fox, IE, etc) and go to the web site www3.meebo.com
4)Drag the little icon next to the URL in your web browser to the new panel in the side bar
5)Expand the view to see everything and log in, then put the buddy list to the side closest to the side bar then get rid of the expanded view and you buddy list should appear in the side bar panel
6)re-size things until the look nice

note that this only allows you to see your buddy list and if you double click on a name it will open up the chat window with the panel
