- gebsta, on 03/19/2008, -4/+65what is the next step up from addiction?
- IvanB, on 03/19/2008, -2/+46Too bad that a lot of the people on Facebook are already on an IM client as well when they are on the computer.
- Artic89, on 03/19/2008, -6/+44Disliking Facebook is so 2007!
- slugicide, on 03/19/2008, -5/+41As long as there is a chat room feature I'm OK with it. That'd be great for study sessions.
- lucidguru, on 03/19/2008, -4/+27Yeah my guess is that it will be about as useful as the myspace one. Gimmicky and pretty much useless.
- bentheo, on 03/19/2008, -1/+21is it really a leak if facebook held a press conference and confirmed it?
http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/18/facebook-to-l ... - k9unit, on 03/19/2008, -4/+22it took that long ?
- Skuzzlbut, on 03/19/2008, -2/+20How ironic that they are the king's of proprietary web software, and it looks like they ripped off every other messaging program ever made.
Either way - it took forever for them to see the value in that? - anteyekon4myst, on 03/19/2008, -2/+19phuk'n great now I have to talk to my friends.
- jordanlgta, on 03/19/2008, -0/+16Are you crazy? You aren't allowed to give your opinion on digg unless you make a joke.
- Nightlie, on 03/19/2008, -4/+19Irrelevant to my interests
- w00t4me, on 03/19/2008, -0/+14shun the non-believer. SHUUUUNNNNN!
- bosssmiley, on 03/19/2008, -1/+13So...typically Facebook then?
- inactive, on 03/19/2008, -2/+13I will use it once its not browser based, or at least one of those multi clients supports it :)
- Joest23, on 03/19/2008, -1/+11OSHI-
- jdh24, on 03/19/2008, -1/+11you use yahoo and icq?
- drizzlelicious, on 03/19/2008, -1/+10death
- gl77, on 03/31/2008, -4/+13Leaked! i dont give a *****!
- therealkdog, on 03/19/2008, -4/+13I dont understand, What is the point? Do we really need more chat programs?
I think my AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ are 3 more than enough. - souljaboytellem, on 03/19/2008, -0/+8Yea well my record is 17 seconds from taking a break from it..speaking of which
- Mutton, on 03/19/2008, -0/+7A lot of you seem to think this is irrelevant. Why? Facebook is one of the largest social networks in the USA, probably the world. And the users of it will soon have an easy to use IM client that they don't have to download (good if you check Facebook in a library or computer lab) that includes a fully populated buddy list (read: all of your friends).
You are right that there is no innovation here, at least in the way of instant messaging. The real news here is that a gigantic social network is implementing chat, and will probably implement it well. - mitch37, on 03/19/2008, -0/+71/0
- spyd3rweb, on 03/19/2008, -5/+11Every time facebook adds something new I just hate it that much more.
- xero9, on 03/19/2008, -0/+6PREDICTION: By 2010 Facebook will be the new sixdegrees.com, and Windows Live, AIM, Gtalk, etc will still be around
- Hincapie, on 03/19/2008, -1/+7so now we can waste even MORE time
- BingeBoy, on 03/19/2008, -0/+6Sweet is it going to have bots trying to sell my things while the CIA records everything I say? Thanks Zuc your amazing!
- inactive, on 03/19/2008, -5/+10Oh great, now I will never leave my facebook page.
- d03boy, on 03/19/2008, -0/+5what are you talking about? Facebook is the #1 stalking tool, man.
- doshindude, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4it's Yahoo all over again...soon they'll add Pool.
- gebsta, on 03/19/2008, -5/+9On a scale of 1-10 how scared in AOL that Facebook could take over AIM in instant communication popularity?
1 (no fear) - 10 (sh*tting pants) - pw378, on 03/19/2008, -1/+5If facebook doesn't use an open protocol like Jabber, I'd avoid it like the plague. The last thing we need is another proprietary chat protocol.
OPEN STANDARDS... HELLO! - achoi, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4I've been WoW free for 4 weeks. Yesterday one of my friends called me up, badgered me to get online to do 5s (really been disliking arenas lately), so I gave in and fired it up. Luckily there was a queue, so I called me friend up and he told me I didn't have to log on. *whew*
- joedawson, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4I won't switch but I am sure that they will make it so that you can import all your messenger contacts into the Facebook Messenger in due course. Probably have it ready but they will slowly feed people's addictions!!
- usingpond, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4Yeah, this really worked out well for MySpace.
- pw378, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4If they don't use an open protocol like Jabber, I say *****'em.
- d03boy, on 03/19/2008, -2/+5icq? lmao... seriously?
- pw378, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3PREDICTION: Facebook continues to be arrogant and refuses to adopt Open Standards.. In 2009 they have same respect as classmates.com.
- sickswaystop, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3i think myspace is the useless platform, the facebook chat doesn't even need to be downloaded it just appears
- RedS0x, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3They integrated Digg with Facebook?!
- Vindexus, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3I'm just glad I'll be able to chat with "Amanda" instead of "X-x0xA M A N D A - 555-4358 (L)({) LUV U GUYZ - 44 days!!!!!"
- whyufail, on 03/19/2008, -2/+5And nobody cared
- xero9, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3People still use Trillain?
- pw378, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3.1
- d03boy, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3lunix
- zantos420, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3seriously, i was going to say the exact same thing verbatim. dugg.
- DivisibleByZero, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3Do'nt need more chat apps that do the same thing.
- d03boy, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3you really think people use meebo?
- griffeycom, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3And the chat will record all of your conversations and won't allow you to delete them.
