As we all know Facebook is the new social network that is being used throughout the world, whether your in schools, colleges in the work place or just using it for fun. Right now they have 69 million users, which is constantly growing, and now with the advancement in there system to incorporate a ‘chat’ interface this can only advance their numbers even more.
Is this now something that once it spreads will take over the other online chat mechanisms, like AOL, Google, Myspace and MSN?
I think this is a great tool that will definitely make a major impact on the Facebook application as well as become a major competitor with the other chat interfaces. Its amazing to see how many people from around the world use these chat interfaces. For instance AOL estimates 80 million users, Facebook's rival MySpace, purported to have about 110 million users, already has an instant message system called MySpaceIM and Google Talk are supposed to also have over 50 million users.
Looking at these numbers you can see it’s a huge market, so will Facebook now join this online chat industry?
