Facebook IM client coming tomorrow!

Posted September 27th, 2007 by admin

According to Sam Sethi from Blognation UK a new Facebook IM client is going into beta this Friday. The new app will not require downloads, installs or registration, and all of your friends in Facebook will be able to use it immediately.

Will people love it?

I think so. By the looks of it, you will only be able to chat with your friends (notice how the picture shows offline and online buddies). This eliminates random stalkers from being able to swing by your profile with, “how YOU doing?” messages. At the same time, MySpace has an IM function and I’ve honestly never heard of anyone use it. But then again, who even uses MySpace these days. There was a massive outcry against Facebook’s feed last year but after a few months people got used to it and learned to embrace it. We’ll have to wait and see how our fellow Facebookers will react to this new IM client.
