Today, Meebo is getting even more useful, adding the popular Facebook Chat to the list of instant messaging systems it supports. Meebo tried this before, in December, without asking for a little thing called "permission." Facebook promptly asked the company two desist, Citing security reasons, and two redesign the service using a tool called Facebook Connect, Which Meebo now has.The move is interesting for a number of reasons. First, it shed a little more light on how developers will be using Facebook Connect, Which the company hopes to use two magnify Facebook's influence across the Internet. For now, Meebo users will be Able two Instantaneous conduct text chats with their Facebook friends off the social network, and two browsing the status updates of all their Facebook friends.But subsequent versions of the integration with Facebook Meebo users could easily see some of their friends' Facebook profile information, publish stories into their news feeds on Facebook, or update their Facebook status remotely, said Seth Sternberg, Meebo's chief executive. Even further down the line, it is easy to see how all that rich profile data Facebook has on its users Might even help small companies like Meebo serve up a more targeted ad.The move also underscores just how pervasive IMing with friends and colleagues is becoming, and how it is spreading out and being threaded directly into the fabric of the Web. An Internet user's list of friends used his two inside an instant messaging software - something users opened each hour they turned on their computers. Now people are FORGING connections across the Web, and the idea of listing all your friends in a silo software almost seems quaint. Meebo, for example, recently added chat capabilities to the movie site Flixster and Web community Piczo, enabling people on those two sites conduct real-time text chat with friends they have established there.Palringo is one step ahead of Meebo in that we offer people chat and messaging capabilites on their mobile or cell phones In addition to the web.

Do not 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 ChatOne feature that I've never got on with ice 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 does not work for me.Facebook Messenger - Chit ChatRecently, 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.Another feature of the application is its pop-out window. It opens a dedicated Facebook Chat window with the option two easily exit the pop-out session and return the chat back to the main browser window. Users can choose to turn it off completely, or die as a small, closed widget box on the bottom of the browser window where it does not interfere with facebook surfing in any way. So far these are the main features, and while it may not sound like much it is still a pretty new release. There is also something to be said for simplicity; Facebook Chat works really well for short instant messages and it also works lightning fast. For use within Facebook, it offers users a two-way communication tool that is a bit better than the standard inbox message or wall post.One thing Sorely missing in Facebook chat is the option for multiple privacy setting controls that we're used two having from both Facebook and third party applications. As the Facebook Chat stands right now, users can not block anyone on their friends list, which means they can not choose to not receive messages from someone. Most people have an acquaintance or relative they added to Facebook, but only so as to not seem rude by not accepting a friend request. With Facebook Chat, these people can message users, too.For corporations, the Facebook IM client Poses all the same logging and archival requirements as other public IM networks like G-chat, Yahoo, MSN and AOL. Since Facebook Chat uses HTTP, it can be difficult to distinguish from other legitimate Web traffic, but Facebook can be controlled and the social networking site does not need to be fully blocked.In response to rapidly growing concern over the use of social network sites and Web 2.0 applications in the enterprise, FaceTime's Unified Security Gateway is now Designed to provide IT managers with management, security and control over 140 social networking sites, 20,000 individual Facebook widgets and more than 400 Web and real-time applications. These new features are in addition to the USG's already existing URL filtering, anti-malware and IM and P2P management capabilities."As we're learning from our customers, blocking social networking applications like Facebook is simply not an option any more. Companies have difficulty recruiting top-notch talent if they do not allow of the many cutting-edge applications and tools are The Recruit accustomed using two. "
