Try going to the guild of whatever craft you need to meld for you. There will always be people there working away. You can click on any player and "request meld." I've heard some people find it rude if you don't send them a tell first, but I wouldn't mind at all if someone approached me that way while I was crafting. But definitely tip if you're going this route so you don't come off as a douche!

The best advice I can give you though is to get a wireless keyboard for your PS3. Communication is key in MMO's and trying to use the built in PS3 kb is utterly useless in a crunch. I know, I play on PS3 too.
