profile.chat.done.right

So I haven’t used my profile site of choice, Facebook, in awhile and when I came back to check it out I realized the developers of this profile site integrated a new feature. This new feature is the inclusion of profile based chat. That’s right now Facebook friends can bypass looking up friends screen names and can start messaging almost instantly. The funny thing is that this feature has not been widely received by many. Actually the real problem with this application is that is lets users know when their Facebook “friends” are online which can ruin the privacy factor (till an invisible status comes out).  I feel that the Facebook team is trying to eliminate the notion of the word stalker by constantly trying to put all of its users in the know.  Has it worked before? Definitely, as proof in the news feed users have been accustomed to using. In time Facebook chatting will be as normal as regular instant messaging.
