We know that messaging app Telegram has big plans - beyond its planned $1.2 billion ICO, it is also developing its own platform for blockchain-based services.

The new feature will allow website owners (business owners) to connect with Telegram users right from their site using a Telegram bot.

Telegram has placed a lot of emphasis on bots and matching them with a web plugin creates a system that could enable businesses to send reminders, updates, and more information directly to customers via chats.

With its ambitious ICO project, when you factor that into the picture, this widget could enable users to pay for goods online using Telegram once its payment service is up and running. It already supports payment via bot chats.

Telegram has been ahead of the pack on a number of features but it’s playing catchup in some areas with web login. Facebook last year launched a plug-in that lets businesses connect with users via Messenger, while it is also developing business-focused apps to let companies tap into its 1.5 billion monthly user base with payments set to arrive soon.

Privacy concerns have been raised regarding the use of Telegram for ICO community management and it’s worth noting here that Facebook also has a popular messaging platform in Messenger which claims over 1.2 billion active users.

Despite its growing userbase, particularly among crypto enthusiasts, Telegram hasn’t yet cracked 200 million monthly users but momentum is certainly on its side with this new addition to the platform.

As reported last month, Telegram’s ICO whitepaper reveals plans for a distributed file storage service, a proxy service to create TOR-like secure web browsing, a platform to host decentralized apps and payments for micropayments and peer-to-peer transactions.
