- okayokayokay, on 06/16/2009, -0/+53That's because I downloaded it. Don't worry - I'll upload it again after my plane lands.
- allyclark, on 06/16/2009, -1/+47Facebook Chat doesn't even work half the time
- inactive, on 06/16/2009, -1/+21That's because people like me ignore it and pretend we didn't see a message :D
- Steamster, on 06/16/2009, -0/+20if I had a cookie for every time i've had to resend messages with this stupid thing i'd be able to solve the global food problem.
- maloventevil, on 06/16/2009, -0/+17i'm sure that aim, msn, and yahoo each have 50-100x more traffic than that (easily) :p
- doublefelix, on 06/16/2009, -0/+15Thank God my "friends" aren't trying to chat me up there.
- thedez, on 06/16/2009, -1/+12poop is coming out
- beta1, on 06/16/2009, -0/+9Facebook chat is god awful, they don't need be "working hard on adding features" till they get the whole "send and receive" thing down pat.
As of now FB chat works less then the first AIM client I ever used back in the ***** 90's (and with less useful features at that). - inactive, on 06/17/2009, -0/+7But facebook chat sucks.
- mrjit, on 06/16/2009, -0/+7Ugh I ***** hate it when people Facebook IM me, mine is off 80% of the time.
- SummerofGeorge, on 06/17/2009, -0/+7DonAlfred's facebook profile contains two friends
his mom and dad - lougoose, on 06/16/2009, -0/+6I really thing we need to compare it to something like AOL or Google Talk or Skype. This is kinda an ambiguous number.
- Coercion, on 06/16/2009, -0/+6thank my brother for about 1,000 of those, he spends half the day on freaking facebook, it's annoying
- 0ldmankdude, on 06/17/2009, -0/+5what they really need to do is implement XMPP support, like they promised they would over a year ago:
http://developers.facebook.com/news.php?blog=1& ...
that would help a bit by not making everyone use their atrocious web client. - KingGorilla, on 06/17/2009, -0/+5And nothing of value was gained
- misterboulder, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4sending message..........
*10 minutes later*
error sending message
:-( - roxgod666, on 06/16/2009, -0/+4Nobody wants to look like a facebook whore.
- DifferentAngle, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4Wow, that's going to turn into a lot of revenue soon!
/s - Wayfarer12, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4Facebook on iPhone/iPod Touch has chat built in.
- collution, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3okay okayokayokay
- inactive, on 06/16/2009, -0/+3Yeah, it's not really that impressive when compared to the big boys.
- pmkenny1234, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3No kidding. If it was detached from the browser and somewhat reliable I'm sure that number would be WAY higher.
As a point of comparison, total IMs per day across all apps are estimated at about 46.5 billion (from an article published in 2005 so who knows how accurate it really is). - Dested, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3"Now, it looks like that work is paying off in a big way."
Pay off as in..... profit? - zomgwaffles, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3omg, how did you get it to work HALF the time? pm me
- Patori, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3why so mean? he's right though.
- darkNiGHTS, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3Facebook Chat is pretty damn terrible. GMail chat is a lot better and even supports video chat which has worked for me on some computers that skype doesn't work on.
- Wayfarer12, on 06/17/2009, -3/+6Hurrah! Hurrah! Well played! Nominated Digg post of the day!
- inactive, on 06/17/2009, -0/+2it's funny, because the advertisers on facebook are making way more profit than facebook ever has
- pooper0, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2dont thank him..... stone him
- broncfan23, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2IM doesn't even work most of the time. Facebook needs to fix their *****!
- OnionAvenger, on 06/17/2009, -0/+2In the meantime, you can use pidgin with the Facebook plugin:
http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/ - pooper0, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2So that mean the 10,000 people who are the ones sending these messages are the real douches?
- pklall, on 06/16/2009, -1/+3sudo aptitude install pidgin-facebookchat
- larrimer7, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1Little too high...
- Disc2day, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1SKYPE!
- s73v3r, on 06/16/2009, -1/+2Adium has built in support for Facebook chat. That's the only reason I use it, because I have Adium open all the time.
- mrpunman, on 06/17/2009, -1/+2"Facebook chat is down for maintenance"
- Wayfarer12, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1Eww.
- Disc2day, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1Well that's one less costumer. I just shut off mine because it was getting annoying with all the messages from people I don't even want to talk to. hahaha.
Didn't myspace start their own chat? wow. - inactive, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1lol won't happen for FB
- inactive, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1Don't you think someone should tell him it's just a social networking service?
- JamesBondQ, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1I'd say around .02 of those are sent by me per day.
- SkippyBiffles, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1Around 8 or 9 messages were actually interesting and added value to a relationship that couldn't be had while in ***** person.
- inactive, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1wow someone pissed off the social networking whore
- tomato1324, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1yea but the majority of the people using facebook chat probably dont have a clue what adium is. i want to see facebook really make an attempt to expand with their own native desktop app.
- ncgmac, on 06/17/2009, -0/+0Well, at least FB is consistant. Lately everything on their site doesn't work or has to be refreshed. Assuming you can get on. Forget night time. Maybe it's just me, but how long does it take to type in, "I have no life." comment on 5 friends who don't care about you, and take yet another profile test about what sort of stuff animals you prefer to have sex with.
- inactive, on 06/17/2009, -0/+0It''s ok. There's a lot of people I know on fb that I don't have on my other IM clients, so it comes in handy, but yeah it can be buggy Usually nothing that can't be usually fixed by reloading the page, though, in my experience.
Google chat does work better, and it's video chat works pretty well, too. - EAPubudu, on 06/17/2009, -0/+0then this is why its sooo slow!!!!
- inactive, on 06/17/2009, -1/+1Hahahahahahahahhaha
