I am new to chat bot. I want to ask if I can build a bot using Facebook Messenger Platform to integrate on my own website or does it work only on FB Messenger having a FB page?
Like api.ai can be integrated to different platform, so can bot build Messenger platform be integrated to different platform? If yes can you please share the link for tutorial.
Yes you can integrate your chatbot built on FB Messenger Platform on your own website :)
Integrating your FB Messenger chatbot onto your website
With FB's latest Messenger update, it is now possible to embed your chatbot onto your website so that users can interact with your chatbot while browsing your website. The full feature & implementation details can be found in FB's documentation here. Here's a nice tutorial on how to do it here too. However, you still need to have a FB page linked to your FB Messenger bot to do so because bots are mainly used for talking to users via your FB page.
Can FB Messenger Platform be integrated to a different platform?
Well, no, but various other platforms such as API.ai (DialogFlow) or WIT.ai have integrations with other messenger platforms such as Telegram, Slack, Kik, etc.
I hope this helps! I recommend API.ai (DialogFlow) as a platform for making chatbots since it's relatively easy to learn and has good documentation. If you want a quick way to prototype a chatbot, then I recommend using ChatFuel, before making one from scratch :)
i would like to have a google talk button on my website to launch google chat option
i know it used to be possible but i can't find the code for it.
the Hangout video button code is available at the below address.
https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/button
But i can't find one for the chat option that is available via google plus profiles and gmail...
i would really like to launch the google talk option via a button directly from my website for a text chatting option... can anyone help please :) ???
There used to be such a button till May, 2013
google talk button
But now, it has been replaced by hangouts
Google talk official documentation
"We announced a new communications product, Hangouts, in May 2013. Hangouts will replace Google Talk and does not support XMPP."
I've found tutorial on how to link to a hangout but I want to show people inbound that I'm online with hangouts so they can contact me.
Is there a way to do this?
Ether develop a Hangout Extension that can save your personal PHP link page URL, and "tell it" when you enter a Hangout, or just create the PHP link page that you can go to and provide the link info yourself. I suggest a periodic keep-alive rather than count on Hangouts API telling your page as it closes.
Great info to be found in the Developing with Google+ community, as well as the Getting Started page in Hangouts API documentation.
Hope this helps!
Had a question about Google's support for XMPP. I want to build a mobile chat client on top of google chat that can interoperate with google chat run from within Gmail or any other service. Would this application be possible to build since has announced that it will drop support for XMPP for their new Hangouts product? Are there any alternative techniques to allow interoperable chat with Google accounts?
Actually, they removed server to server (s2s) federation.
Third-party software works as client to server (c2s) is still enabled, even if we don't know for how long.
As Google says
Note: We announced a new communications product, Hangouts, in May 2013. Hangouts will > replace Google Talk and does not support XMPP. The information in this Developer's > Guide pertains only to Google Talk.

What's annoying is that users who have switched to Hangouts still show up as online if you have added them as a contact; your messages to them just go into a black hole.
From what I can tell, non-hangouts-enabled users can still connect and chat with non-Google users just fine using XMPP.
Hangouts does not support XMPP as of today's release. This was a difficult decision taken by Google :(

I haven't tried anything on this, but is it possible? If it is, is there a way of making a plugin for firefox or chrome? or making a software that enables you to hook ai chatbot to Facebook chat. I really want to use cleverbot or iGod.
You can connect to the facebook chat via the XMPP API, though I believe using it to connect a bot or anything that is not user-to-user chat is a violation of the rules.
There are many services such as Kommunicate and ManyChat, that provides a way to automate facebook conversations using AI Chatbot.
Signup at Kommunicate, visit Integrations section. Select Facebook, then select the Facebook page and connect. After that, go to Bot Integration section and connect it with the bot.
Here is a detailed instructions on th same: https://www.kommunicate.io/blog/facebook-chatbot/
