Chit Chat is a free Facebook tool that you can download quickly to your PC to enable you to talk with your Facebook friends on your desktop. It enables you to chat with your FB friends in a much larger chat window than that the standard FB chat provides. Each day, over 10,000 people download Chit Chat since it’s creation by Daniel Offer and Henrik Larsson in August 2009. But do you really need a special chat program to use in FB? There are some pros and cons for Chit Chat. In this article we will examine these and then you can decide for yourself if you want to take advantage of the benefits that Chit Chat has to offer.
Overview of the FB Messenger Chit Chat
The Facebook software is very similar to conventional IM programs such as AIM and Yahoo Messenger. You can set your preferences to have Chit Chat open when you start up your computer. The main window lists your FB contacts and you can sort them alphabetically or by online status. In the Tools menu under Preferences you can set your language. These include the following:
- Albanian
- Dutch
- English
- Italian
- Spanish
- Swedish
- Vietnamese
You can also set your contacts to show your user groups from FB. This enables you to keep your contacts organized and as you change your groups in FB they are updated in Chit Chat. The fonts of outgoing and incoming messages can be set for your favorite color and font size. Notifications can be turned on or off and you have your choice of having notifications for your friends only or everyone. Notifications appear in the bottom right hand of your screen as people sign in and out of FB. There is a musical chime that you can turn on or off as you see fit. There is a useful shortcut menu in Tools for you to use if you prefer to use your keyboard for commands over your mouse.
