It’s About Time.

Dear Facebook,

Thank you very much for releasing what may be the most obvious addition to your nicotine-like product. I’m not sure why the early April release of your chat client took over four years to make, but I’m sure glad that it’s out. I can now talk to all my 400+ friends in ONE web based client (everyone loves efficiency), and have yet another tool to convince my “I’m not signing up for Facebook just to be different and socially separated” friends to join.

I’m also a fan of the UI, it’s very similar to Google’s chat client in Gmail. Clearly, collecting staff from down the road was a smart move! Way to go! The UI is clean, and doesn’t interfere with my stalking social networking experience. The mini feed updates in the chat window also gives me a better connection to the person I’m chatting with, I instantly feel like we are co-browsing Facebook, something we could never *really* do before <3.

Thanks again,

Melina McLarty
