Good news everyone: As of today, you can use Nimbuzz in Google’s Chrome Web Store.

This means that now you can use Nimbuzz inside your Chrome browser as a native app. Pretty cool, right ?

The Chrome Web Store is similar the Apple App Store, or the Android Market, or BlackBerry App World, with the key difference being that the apps you download work inside your Chrome browser.

To get Nimbuzz you need to:

1. Install Google Chrome on your computer.
2. Visit this link via Chrome.
3. Click on install.
4. Login!

Please leave a nice review in the store if you like the app .

Thank youuuu!  And stay tuned for an update soon.

P.S.: The app works in all the Chrome based browsers like RockMelt, for example.

Yes!  ICQ is back on Nimbuzz .

Though last year we had to pull the plug on ICQ, it didn’t stop us from looking into ways of collaboration.

After further discussions ICQ agreed to let us continue to offer support.  This is especially handy for Nokia Symbian and Blackberry users for which ICQ does not provide a mobile version.

We know for sure our friends from Russia and Germany will be really happy to have ICQ back again!

Thank you all for sticking with Nimbuzz even when we couldn’t offer ICQ and thanks for your support via blog posts, comments and Twitter.

Please tweet the post and spread the good news to all your friends !
