Among the recent wave of Facebook changes that seem to have everyone up in arms (although I think people are getting used to it now). Facebook changed something and did it right for a change. They added a bit more functionality to their chat feature.
Facebook chat was basically an all-or-nothing thing. When you were on, you were on and all your friends knew it. But what if you didn’t want to appear online to some of your friends? What if, hypothetically, you didn’t want your “work friends” to know you were on…well now you can.
If you add those friends to a group, you can change your settings to appear “offline” to that group. Handy eh? There’s a button to organize your lists and an options button that lets you Go Offline (to everyone), Re-order Lists, Pop out Chat, Show Feed stories in Chat, Play Sound for New Messages, Keep Online Friends Window Open and Show Only Names in Online Friends.
It may seem small but sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference in the user experience. So sit back and enjoy the new Facebook chat feature and wait until the next Facebook change
What do you think about the new chat feature?
