I honestly didn't think anyone used FBChat. You are literally the first person I've ever seen anywhere mention using it. Windows Live Messenger has a pretty good stranglehold in the business world, which is a pretty large segment of IM usage.


:) Always nice to be "cutting edge". Facebook chat is crap - but it works (most of the time at least). It drops out, the text input is tiny, you're tied to FB, etc. But it's good enough. And I'll clarify that that is purely personal use - never used it for work.

Do Microsoft have an Intranet focused IM solution ala Lotus Sametime? Notes shops all seem to be running sametime, Exchange shops seem to be not running IM or running public Messenger.


Yes, Microsoft has Office Communicator. However, it's a terrible client, it's about on feature parity with AIM version 0.5. It doesn't even turn "http://... strings into hyperlinks.
