Yeah I've heard Many Complaints of Fb lame chat system, you just hate chatting in that window... the damn delay and the nasty shit of going online then offline then online.
well after some decent amount of scouring I've found a workable solution
Discovery Messenger is A Nice Plugin that sits at the Bottom of your windows live messenger
and gives you access to all your FaceBook contacts Messenger style.
it won't integrate with your plus! sadly so the convo's will open in seperate windows instead of tabs what everyone by now is used to.
This plugin is pretty nice... does the Job Ok, My only gripe really is that if you have a lot of contacts... the amount of sign ins can become pretty maddening. but its worth not having to use that god forsaken simplex text messenger that facebook calls a chat.
The Plug in also has a bunch of other cool features such as seeing who blocks you and being able to record... webcam chats :| kinda weird.
anyway Pick it up for the download
(DOWNLOAD THE ONE WITHOUT THE SPONSOR)
Peace.
