  • Be honest: has Facebook chat ever been your favorite form of instant messaging? For many of us, Gchat, Skype or even AIM are our preferred defaults.

  • LOL I just tried this and it works! I guess I should have known it would work, but I’m one of those, “seeing is believing” guys.

    Thanks for the tip.

  • Personally still not a fan of that personally. I’m not sure how that going to really benefit after the gimmick has worn off.At least it only happens when you use the double brackets, glad it’s not just automatic!

    I agree with you on that. I’m not a big fan of fb chat to begin with as I don’t spend enough time using their chat to really make it useful.

    But, not many people do know about it. When I tested it yesterday, the person I was chatting with said, “How’d you do that?”

    So, until the new wears off, I’ll guess it’ll be fun to play with every once in a awhile.
