Facebook today announced Rooms, a new chatting service that harkens back to the early days of the internet.
With Rooms, people can create small chat spaces around any topic that allows them to post comments, photos, and videos anonymously. Room creators pick the topic for the Room and can customize look and feel of the Room, such as colors, and even appoint moderators to police behavior. Users can adjust their “Like” button appearance, as well as create custom permissions for Room members.
Room participants can invite others via QR codes. For now, Rooms is limited to the Apple iPhone. It is free to download and use.
