Facebook Chat Launches

That's right, for those who can't already do everything that they ever dreamed of on Facebook, they now have Facebook Chat!

It is only available in a few networks at the moment, but Facebook Chat will be rolled out across the whole spectrum over the next couple of days according to Inside Facebook, where the whole Facebook Chat process is explained in great detail and screenshots.

Conclusion:

"Facebook Chat is a very compelling experience that will spell trouble for legacy IM networks that haven’t built vibrant social networks around their friend lists (i.e. AIM). By making Facebook more real time/presence oriented, Facebook session length should go up a lot. Facebook will become an important player in IM very soon."

Well, I'm not much of an online chatter, but I can't what to try out Facebook Chat!
