Beta test MessengerDiscovery with Facebook Chat integration


Posted by absorbation on Wed 23 Sep 2009 (19:12 GMT) (7608 views)
A couple of weeks ago we stumbled upon a new feature coming to MessengerDiscovery and today Facebook Chat comes to Windows Live Messenger with the public beta test of MessengerDiscovery 2.1.

As promised, everyone can now download and install the latest version of MessengerDiscovery - version 2.1. Everyone is invited to test this new version and report bugs/give feedback. MessengerDiscovery 2.1 has been in development for three of months and has undergone some rigerious testing to ensure that you do not encounter any major bugs even though it is a beta.



The feature seems really useful for those into the popular social networking website Facebook, which for me personally is the main way to contact my friends aside from my mobile phone. Hopefully Microsoft has a first party solution coming too in Windows Live Messenger 10.

Yep, i was thinking on that. In fact i already do the same with SmartSniff

The only thing that concerns me is the stored password in your pc (is a violation of the Facebook Terms of Service), but is not a Facebook App, so..

Sooner or later they must detect that and see what happen. Hope they don't block this way

For the record, i'm not against this

SuNcO - I don't think there's any official documentation for FB Chat, but it has been reversed engineered.

I'm currently building a Facebook App (not related in any way with Messenger) and can't found a way to integrate the Facebook chat part

I think must look deeply the Documentation
