It keeps on duplicating your messages and every time you try to send a response to someone who's also using the service, it keeps on telling you that you're offline even though the green button is there. wth.

Bit of a sham. No-one seems to bother anymore with skype or any other chat applets which is a shame because my interactions were much better with people one to one without all the showing off to the crowd..

No orange blink in the bottom of the screen like most IM services, at least on windows. I disagree with the reasons why you find the facebook chat to be bad, since the explaination is rather simple (you wrote about the wall here) and the reason people don't use the messages that often, is because they don't want to fill up their inboxes. The reason I think it sucks is, as mentioned before, that it's hard to know when you recive a message. I'm usually sitting online with a few convos on MSN open while also on facebook, and not always looking at my browser has gotten some people really mad, because THEY don't use a chat where you're properly informed that you recive a message. Especially because some people i chat with are that fucking stupid "now that we're friends on facebook, we don't need any other place to chat", then get angry when i miss their messages. I agree on the layout. The reason I think the facebook chat sucks is that there is no reminder that you get the damn message (other than a small “new message from X person”).

You can't resize the window, you can't move it out of the way, you can't save the conversation. Mr. Zuckerberg talks a lot about how many engineers Facebook has but, honestly, can anyone tell by looking at the dog's breakfast of an interface they've foisted upon us? Facebook Chat is brutal.
