Nigeria, let's rewind to the yahoo style chatroom... With Facebook Rooms!

Facebook on Thursday introduced a mobile chat application called Rooms that allows users to operate under chosen identities.

Facebook Rooms App Allows Any Identity
An email address is all that's required to create a user account.


Rooms was inspired by early forms of online interaction, says Facebook product manager Josh Miller, in a blog post. The goal of the app, he suggests, is to capture the spirit of early Web communities, of forums, message boards, and chat rooms where common interests and conversational contributions mattered more than concrete identities.


The app, available only for iOS devices at the moment, allows users to create chat rooms that provide a feed of photos, text, and videos based on a user-determined topic. An email address is all that's required. Users can share room invitations using online channels or QR codes printed on paper. They can also restrict access to rooms by age and ban room visitors by nickname.

Miller says room creators can control the look of the room as well as the topic. But most significantly, they can control how they're identified. "One of the things our team loves most about the Internet is its potential to let us be whoever we want to be," Miller says. "...That's why in Rooms you can be 'Wonder Woman' – or whatever name makes you feel most comfortable and proud."


Hello Nigeria... I can't wait to catch you all in this retro chat style... Remember the yahoo rooms!
