Facebook Messenger for Windows Available for Download

<Category: Facebook, Internet, Microsoft, Windows, Windows 7> No comment

Titled Facebook Messenger, Facebook has officially released an app for Windows which lets you chat with your friends, watch their recent posts in the news ticker as well as stay up to date with notifications. According to Facebook, the app is being rolled out to a limited number of users, which answers the question as to why there isn’t an official page on this but just a help topic entry only. Strangely, despite being in trial period, Facebook hasn’t called the Messenger app beta.

Puppet on FaceTime iPhone 4

One of the coolest features of iPhone 4 is FaceTime and its really fun to talk to anybody while you can watch him/her too. Apple also provided a helpline 1-888-Facetime to try out FaceTime chat with an Apple employee just in case you don’t have anyone else to try it with. While attending the FaceTime calls by customers, Apple employees would have been mighty bored, but DeAngelo received a FaceTime call from a happy puppet. Both DeAngelo and the puppet had a great two minutes chat.

eBuddy Pro eBuddy is one of the oldest players in multi-network chat clients and is available on almost every mobile platform out there. The free ad-supported version of eBuddy for the iPhone was released a long time ago, but now eBuddy Pro has been launched for $4.99 along with lots of new features that are already available in other IM apps for the iPhone. This includes sending pictures, changing display pictures as well as push notifications for 3 days. But are these enough to compete with the likes of Beejive and IM+?
