Chat

On the April 23, 2008 Facebook launched its very own chat. Users are able to chat with their facebook friends. One can also chat with groups by simply going to the respective group and clicking on chat. It is only here where you can chat with people who are not on your friends list but belong to that particular group. Facebook chat can also be accessed by using a cellphone by using software services like EBUDDY and NIMBUZZ. On May 13, 2008 a developer from Facebook announced that they were working on XMPP support, allowing almost a hundred instant messaging clients to incorporate the Facebook chat, however this functionality became optional on February 10, 2010. Users are also allowed to paste links or even insert smileys in the chat box. In mid 2010 several users complained about the dis functionality of Facebook chat, but then it was fixed in no time, and now it users glide on it like ice.
