AllFacebook: Facebook Chat Launch Appears Imminent

  • Chad Boyda · 1 year ago
    They've been testing that persistent connection live for almost two weeks now. If you use a JavaScript debugger like Firebug it starts to consume a lot of resources. That's what made me first notice it. Chat is definitely due any day now, but unfortunately this is no indicator of an imminent launch since it's been live for a couple weeks now.
