  Hello,
  I have tried to include Meebo chat code in a post via VodPod button and works fine. It’s safe and correct here on WordPress?

  If you have the permission of everyone in the chat. Otherwise you will probably find it’s not considered good form at all.

  But it’s a public chat raincoaster.

  I’m just saying it doesn’t matter. You will get hostility if you don’t have the permission of everyone in the chat. If Meebo ToS make it clear that the chat transcripts are available for non-Meebo members to read after the fact, then that is fine. If they don’t, you will be in for drama. I’ve lived through it with another chat platform. If there is an expectation of privacy, people will get upset. It’s just how people are.

  raincoaster, there is this message in the chat when a user enter: Conversations are logged and will be publicly available on the Web. Remember to not share private or sensitive information!

  Yes, that’s very clear. Good of Meebo to include that. Five bucks says someone really stupid will still try to complain, but you’re definitely in the right with that.
