Facebook Chat?

Apr 20, 2008 in citations

So it looks like the Facebook Chat service has finally started rolling out to my network (Facebook Chat has been mentioned previously).

Not quite sure how I feel about it yet. I don’t really need yet another IM solution (beyond Twitter, MSN & Jabber/GTalk) so it’s very unlikely that I’m going to be consistently keeping a Facebook tab open just for this.

We’ll see what the future holds, who knows, maybe they’ll hook it up to XMPP and someone will build an interface for one of the IM tools I’m already using. Even then it’s debatable how big a role it’ll play in my personal communications.
