Chit Chat for Facebook Chat – An Insiders Report

Over the past year, chances are you’ve noticed that an increasing amount of your friends are using Facebook not just for sharing photos, updating their status and sending Facebook mail messages, but also for Facebook Chat instant messaging.

Facebook Chat is excellent for keeping in touch with friends past and present, however, there are a number of things that I simply don’t like about ordinary Facebook Chat.

Things I Don’t Like About Facebook Chat

Firstly, you need to use a web-browser in order to use Facebook Chat – I much prefer to be able to browse the internet checking out the latest technology news rather than watch my browser for a message from a Facebook friend.

Secondly, I like to be able to have the instant messages that I’ve sent and received automatically saved. I guess that’s a habit from school, doing group work.

Desktop Facebook Messaging

Chit Chat for Facebook as a great new way to use Facebook Chat. It’s a desktop instant messenger, much like Windows Live Messenger or AIM. Therefore, you can now use Facebook Chat without having to use your web-browser.
