Ever since Facebook released its instant messaging application on its
site in 2008, many of its users have been utilizing the chat function
to keep in contact with their Facebook friends. It is a simple function,
but nonetheless user-friendly. Comparing what it is now and what it was
three years back, not many would say it has changed much; it’s still a
small bar located on your bottom-right corner which expands to let you
see who’s online when you click on it.
That doesn’t stop avid fans of facebook from discovering a couple of
interesting tips and tricks to enhance your experience with its chat
function. Below are some great tips and tricks you can use to customize
the way you chat with Facebook.

In 2010, Facebook added a new interface to its chat service which
provides the Jabber/XMPP protocol. Since then, Facebook chat is
accessible from any Jabber-supporting instant messaging programs. What
this means is that you can now use that chat function on your mobile
phone and desktop. (via Ken’s Tech Tips)

Instant Messengers Facebook Chat
Here’s a list of instant messengers that allows you to chat with your
Facebook friends without opening the browser or keeping your Facebook
page active.
Sick of the lack of customization for your fonts in Facebook chat?
Chit Chat is the way to go with its text formatting options, chat
logging and status alerts, just like any other instant messenger on the
market.
This chat client attempts to integrate instant messaging, e-mailing
and social networking chats into one program so that you don’t have to
have separate programs or browsers for each one of them. Great for those
with too many accounts to manage,
Meebo provides a single log-in to all your chat networks, but it’s
not a desktop program like Digsby. It is actually a browser-based
application that requires no set-up. Since you can log in on any
computers with a internet connection without having to install anything,
this is quite a convenient tool for not just Facebook chat, but also
your other ones.
An aesthetically attractive instant messaging client for the Mac OS.
Other than Facebook chat, Adium supports MSN, Yahoo, AIM, MSN, Google
Chat and Windows Live as well.
For those who know Gaim, Pidgin is the instant messaging client’s new
name. As with other chat clients, it lets users access multiple chat
clients at one convenient place. Pidgin also provides a range of
wonderful features such as customizing sounds when a contact signs in or
off.
