Although Facebook provides a chat feature, it is not very comfortable, because you have to keep a web browser running at all times and it is quite easy to close it by mistake. Chit Chat for FaceBook gives you the possibility of chatting with your Facebook contacts on your desktop. It works like a traditional instant messenger, which means that you don't have to stay logged into Facebook on your web browser.

The application is absolutely free and it can be installed without any effort. Its setup file is 5 MB and you only need to go through a series of basic configurations to complete the installation process. Chit Chat for FaceBook is compatible with all popular Windows versions and you don't need powerful hardware to run it.

There is no need to create an online account when launching the application for the first time. You can log in with your Facebook email address and password. Once it connects to your Facebook account, the application will retrieve all your contacts automatically. In terms of appearance, Chit Chat for FaceBook is similar to other instant messengers, like Yahoo Messenger or Google Talk. Online and offline contacts are displayed in separate lists, on the main user interface and you can chat with them on a separate window.

Chit Chat for FaceBook provides a tabbed chat window, which means that you can exchange messages with multiple contacts, without filling your screen with chat windows. While chatting, you can set your characters to bold and underlined and insert emoticons. It is also possible to clear the entire chat history instantly, with a single click. You can type a status message, just like in other similar applications, but once you set a new status, the application will post it automatically on your Facebook wall.

The general settings menu contains numerous options for reconfiguring the software's general behavior, setting up hotkeys and more. A connection to a proxy server can be defined in the same menu. This gives you the possibility of bypassing certain filters, on school or work computers.

Pros

You can chat with your Facebook contacts directly on your desktop. The application imports your contacts automatically and it allows you to chat with them on a tabbed window. Chit Chat for FaceBook is lightweight, it can be installed fast and it is very easy to use.

Cons

There may be a delay until the application registers a contact as online. With Chit Chat for FaceBook, you will never have to open a web browser and sign into Facebook if you wish to chat with your friends.
