Next up is figuring out why Firefox doesn't like 100% width embedded objects. Chrome is playing with them fine, but Firefox and IE users make up a much larger majority. If anyone has any experience with this, tips appreciated

Just checking in, Safari 4 Developer Preview works with that site. Missing a plugin for the Nasa Webcast but I expected that.

I doubt you can do much but the meebo widget just doesn't seem intuitive. (See attached) The scroll bars look too small to me and having the user list on top seems like it will make things difficult if people are talking back and forth quickly.

Have you given thought to how you are doing the twitter functionality? Depending on what sort of setup you have on your server there is a php library for getting tweets. (http://blog.slawcup.com/2007/04/full...ibrary-ver-01/) It doesnt support searching but it does support direct messaging and replies, perhaps having an FRCKickoff twitter user we respond to and have those on a 30 second updating feed.

Great Job by the way.
