If your FREE product is still in Beta, you can make as many changes as you want and people can't complain.

When a company goes with a name like 'flickr' it makes a little since as it has a direct relation to the service they provide, but when you have a name like 'meebo' you are basically cutting off your ability to connect to anyone outside of a small demographic - the tech-savy who have nothing better to do than look for new tech companies. You will never receive mass market appeal (though to be fair, it may not be their goal to appeal to the mass market). On a similar note... Have you noticed gmail is still in Beta? Seriously, how long has it been around now? Five years? ...and it is STILL in beta? I think at this point it is a little ridiculous. Very true point.
