Love Facebook, But Hate Facebook Chat? Then Facebook Chat Instant Messenger, Chit Chat, Is For You!

Like me, and 200 million other people, you’re probably a user of Facebook.  Don’t get me wrong – I’m an avid Facebook fan – a regular Facebook user. I love being able to write on my friends walls, check out the random Facebook photos from nights out on the ‘lash’, change my status and “poke” my friends.

Facebook Chat

One feature that I’ve never got on with is Facebook Chat. To be frank it’s no Windows Live Messenger. Speaking from my web-browser whilst I’m trying to find out the latest football scores, or read up the latest celebrity gossip just doesn’t work for me.

Facebook Messenger – Chit Chat

Recently, thanks to a friend’s recommendation (cheers Dave!); I joined a growing number of people on Facebook using an instant messenger, like MSN (Windows Live Messenger), called Chit Chat to access Facebook Chat.

Chit Chat is like MSN, but slightly better.  For example, I don’t have all of my friends on MSN, but I have them all on Facebook. Chit Chat let’s me talk to all of my Facebook friends with the convenience of Windows Live Messenger. Like MSN it also has status updates – informing me who has just signed into Facebook Chat.

Chit Chat is not perfect, it does have a few hiccups’ here and there – but it is much better than using Facebook Chat from my web-browser.

One thing that I really like about Chit Chat, the Facebook Chat Instant Messenger, is the tabbed message window. It allows me to talk with many of my friends on Facebook at once from one instant message window – I don’t know about you, but when I’m on Windows Live Messenger and I have 9 windows open because I’m trying to talk with 9 different people at once it gets a little complicated. Chit Chat with its tabbed instant message window makes it dead easy to talk with many people at once and for that reason alone, I love using Chit Chat for Facebook Chat.

I’m now a regular Facebook Chat convert – thanks to the Facebook Instant Messenger Chit Chat.

Chit Chat is extremely easy to use; most of my friends are now using it to talk on Facebook Chat rather than use MSN. From Ian, who, to be honest is a bit of a self confessed nerd (he is also a bit of a trend setter – he was using Facebook, YouTube and Twitter miles before anyone else) to my cute blonde girlfriend Amy, who’s never been very good at computers, but to her credit she managed to install Chit Chat herself. Well done Amy!
