Facebook Launches Facebook Chat

This week, Facebook is rolling out Facebook Chat, a new way for users to communicate with their friends in real-time. Facebook will show users which of their friends are online when they are, so that they do not need to create or maintain a separate buddy list. Users also do not have to worry about any additional installation or set up. Facebook Chat works directly in the browser. Just as other features on Facebook have allowed friends to communicate more efficiently than before, we hope Facebook Chat will make it easier to connect instantly.
