Two days back I posted about upcoming Facebook Chat feature… Its live now!

Here are screenshots…

Pop-out Window…

Here are prominent features as highlighted by facebook…

• Start instant conversations with all of your friends.
• Check the Online Friends menu to see who is online now.
• A green dot means your friend is available to chat.
• Don’t want to chat? Make yourself unavailable.

few more…

• You can update your status from chat panel
• feature is implemented as a chat-bar. So length of page have no effect on user experience
• speed is quite impressive (atleast as of now) considering the overall slow facebook!

To-Do list…

• Group chat is not there as explained earlier.
• There is no invisible status option. You can go offline but you can’t hide…

It turn out to be much better than what I have expected. Specially pop-out chat window is something Gmail team have a look at. I am wondering why Gmail never thought about giving extra features in pop-out window!
