I wanted to write a quick post to tell everyone some good news about ooVoo. We found out yesterday that we were one of the winners of the CNET Webware 100 Awards in the Communications Category. This award is great because the Web 2.0 user community decides the ultimate winners – voting for the finalists selected by the Webware editors. This year, the community voted nearly two million times and we think some of those were from our loyal ooVoo users like you – so thanks! Read more in our press section here.

Ever wanted to actually communicate with the people you have in your Facebook friends list? I don’t mean communicate in the Facebook “poke” sense of the word, by sending a virtual plastic monkey or randomly being bitten by a vampire. ooVoo users with Facebook accounts can now initiate a live face-to-face video chat from within Facebook at the click of a button.
Follow these steps and you’ll be having real conversations quicker than you can become a vampire or get involved in a food fight.
1. Find the ooVoo link
2. Be sure to check “put a box in my profile” – as this is where your friends will find the ooVoo Me button
3. Add your ooVoo ID
4. Voila - your ooVoo link, complete with your lovely profile image will now appear on your Facebook profile.
5. We might suggest moving the ooVoo link onto the left hand side of your profile just below your friends to make it easy to find and start talking.
6. Your friends that have ooVoo running on their PC or Mac need only click on “ooVoo Me” to start a face-to-face conversation with you. Those that don’t can click on “Get ooVoo“ to catch up with the rest of civilization and have a real conversation… without virtual plastic monkeys
Don't have a Facebook account but do send email or host a webpage/blog? Then simply follow the instructions to create your ooVoo widget and have people contact you in the same way on MySpace, your blog or even the signature of your emails. Follow the instructions on how to download the HTML code here.
