Web Numbers: What's Real? Competing methods of measuring traffic online leave advertisers, investors, and even Net companies almost flying blind Life is good for 27-year-old Seth J. Sternberg. A year ago, he dropped out of Stanford Business School to work full-time on Meebo Inc., an easy-to-use service that has solved one of instant messaging's nagging problems: the inability to communicate with people who use an IM service other than yours. Today Meebo is going gangbusters. It has raised $3.5 million from the Silicon Valley crème-de-la-crème, including Marc Andreessen of Netscape fame and venture capital heavyweight Sequoia Capital. More impressively, the service attracts almost a million people every day, who swap more than 60 million messages.
