Meebo sidebar for Flock

Some intrepid soul has hacked up an extension for Flock which places Meebo in a persistent sidebar frame that stays visible as you browse.

As with flock, this extension is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

How is this different from just making a Firefox bookmark to meebo, and editing the bookmark to always open in the sidebar?

Is there a way to modify the page it tries to connect to? My firewall at work prevents us from accessing www.meebo.com, but www32.meebo.com works fine.
Thanks
