Facebook ChatBack app - Press Release
May 10, 2008
Would you like to communicate more with your Facebook family and friends? Or may be find/meet new friends? Today we’re launching the Google Talk Chatback application for Facebook.
Facebook and Google users can now communicate and chat live with each other via the newest Facebook Chatback application.
Chatback is the newest feature from Google Talk.
Google calls it “chatback” because instead of you doing all the talking on your blog, your visitors can talk back to you. Sure, they could leave comments, but those are public and hard to use for a real conversation. With chatback, it’s a real instant message session.
Facebook Chatback connects the Google chatback to your Facebook profile.
How does it work?
A visitor is browsing your Facebook and wants to chat with you. He/she hits the chat button and can start chatting without the hassle of installing any program. You will receive at the same time a message in your Google account that someone wants to chat with you. You click accept and start chatting.
It is a new way for facebook users to communicate with you in real-time. Users also do not have to worry about any additional installation or set up. We hope Facebook Chat will make it easier to connect instantly.
How to install?
The installation is the same like any Facebook application. Just log in to your Facebook account and click here: http://apps.facebook.com/chatback/
You can find also a step by step guide with screen shots given by the developers.
