Facebook Launched Facebook Chat

Today Facebook launched Facebook Chat. Now you can communicate with your friends in real time. Two primary ways to communicate are Wall and Inbox. Very soon there will be chat bar at the bottom of the browser.


From this bar you can view your list of online friends and open conversations with any or all of them. The messages are delivered and displayed to your friend in real time.

Below is snippet of official post from facebook-

We're working on pulling other features of the site into the real- time Chat world. Your notifications will now arrive in the Chat bar, and while chatting you'll see your friend's Mini-Feed activity thrown into the conversation, as it occurs.

Before we jump head-first into this new real-time approach to Facebook, it's worth spending some time thinking about privacy. Conversations are one-to-one, completely private, and only between Facebook friends. The message history is saved from page to page, and even between login sessions, but it is not logged permanently. Should you wish to clear out the history immediately, there's a link provided in each conversation to do so. If you don't want your Mini-Feed stories embedded into your conversations, you can turn off that feature from either the Mini-Feed privacy page or the Chat settings panel. As Chat grows and evolves, we'll continue to make sure that you are in control.

To know more about the launch, follow the official post from facebook in reference.
