For the First Time Facebook Users Can Communicate Via Video With TokBox
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3 /PRNewswire/ -- TokBox, a first-of-its-kind
web-based video communication product that makes it effortless for anyone
to make a video call for free, today announced that it has created a video
communication application for Facebook Chat, making it as easy and
convenient for users to video chat with their Facebook friends as it is to
instant message them. For the first time, TokBox is enabling video
communication within Facebook Chat via a Firefox add-on, allowing users to
video call anyone in their network of friends.
"We're incredibly excited by the early feedback on the TokBox Firefox
add-on. This add-on will enable Facebook users to participate in live video
calls with their Facebook friends, right from within the Facebook chat user
interface," said Nick Triantos, TokBox CEO. "Our team has been focusing on
ways to make our tools easier to use and much better integrated into the
flow of how people use the web. We're really happy that the millions of
Facebook users can now experience video chat so easily."
The TokBox video calling functionality for Facebook is currently
available via a Firefox add-on only, available at
http://www.tokbox.com/plugins. The add-on is free, small and safe, and
enables powerful tools for video communication right through people's web
browsers. TokBox' add-on marks the first attempt to make video calling a
part of the Mozilla Firefox and Facebook user interface. Support for
Internet Explorer and Safari will be available in the near future.
Since launch in October 2007, TokBox has grown rapidly and is already
being used in a variety of interesting ways: from online dating to staying
in touch with far away family, to people communicating face-to-face from
around the world, to music artists speaking with their fans on MySpace, to
software development teams collaborating remotely. In addition to usage on
TokBox.com, users can add a video communication element by embedding TokBox
on relevant applications like blogs, social networks, and commerce and
community sites.
