We’re saying goodbye to Nimbuzz Widgets

Google Buzz

Nimbuzz Widget grayed

Exciting new Nimbuzz technology and product developments mean that we’ll be able to offer a range of even better communication features in the very near future.

To ensure we optimize these other great Nimbuzz features and bring them to users as soon as possible, we are saying goodbye to Nimbuzz Widgets.

So from tomorrow, they will no longer be available to download from www.nimbuzz.com.  Also, existing widgets that have been placed on the profile page of a social network will no longer work.

If you downloaded the Nimbuzz Communicator widget and are using it on Facebook, you won’t have to do anything. We will automatically remove the widget for you – and don’t worry, we won’t disturb your profile when we do it!

If, after the tomorrow, you see a white box where the widget used to be, just click here and you’ll be shown instructions on how to remove it. Full instructions can also be found below.

If you have any problems, please email support (at) nimbuzz.com.

Thanks!

Team Nimbuzz

  12. Can anyone suggest an alternative widget, now that the plug has been pulled in the Nimbuzz widget? I really loved the Buzz, Send File, and other features that allowed visitors to so easily interface with us through our website.

    Unfortunately we do not have an alternative for it.

  14. I think stopping this service is a step backwards, and I think the widget was one of the things which placed Nimbuzz above other simulair software. It gave Nimbuzz just enough extra to be special.
