AllFacebook: Facebook Chat Launches for All

  • Charlie · 1 year ago
    I'm going to have to contradict that. I'm on the Denver, CO network, and facebook chat is not turned on as of now.

    Nevermind, strike that. It just turned on for me in the last three minutes.

    It's great, no distractions of poking, buzzing or silly custom emotions. I would like there to be sound notifications though.

    I like it, but with one complaint. Once the "Online Friends" list gets too big for the window, it becomes annoying to have to scroll through the list. Perhaps Facebook could use the "Friends Lists" and group people into collapsible lists.

    What about this Facebook Lexicon?

    I hope they add support to the API. It would be very powerful to allow users within an application to chat together!

    Actually there's one other problem I have with it. I use the site-specific browser Prism by Mozilla Labs. It uses the most recent Gecko rendering engine, so it can do everything Firefox does.

    However, when I logged into Facebook this morning, there was a message on my main page saying that the new Chat feature didn't work on my browser, and I would have to use Firefox or Flock. I had to go into Prism's config to change the user-agent so that it looked like I was using Firefox. Once I did that, it worked perfectly, which just shows that Facebook didn't know what they were talking about.

    I sent them a complaint about it already.

    I'm also getting the "You are using a browser we don't currently support" message. I'm using Opera 9.

    A strange problem…i use IE 7 with Windows Vista and it says that I am using IE6 :-O and I can’t use it properly… Firefox is ok… anyone knows something about that>?

    FB chat has a message archive - but of course there's no notification, so i only saw the message when i opened up a chat window with that friend to ask WTF didn't he send me a message! Miscommunications galore! :)
