Facebook is the king of Web apps. They have thousands. The latest, and possible greatest, is Facebook IM. Now you'll be able to chat in real time with your facebook friends. Sam Sethi of Blognation UK has been given a sneak peak. He says, "nothing to download or install, no registration and best of all, all of your friends in Facebook can use it instantly."

This is a big plus for the Facebook community. I love IM. Been using IM since PowWow back in 1996 and ICQ in 1997. PowWow is no longer around but I highly recommend ICQ. MySpace IM came out awhile ago, I say it's about time Facebook IM is launched.
