The Facebook chat roll out is happening faster than anticipated spreading over networks, the first networkk to have Facebook chat supported was of course Mark Zuckerberg old college. that little university called Hardvard, from there, the facebook chat followed activation in the main Universites netowrks, like standford, yale, princeston and so on. this kind of path of deployment reveal a interesting doubt. Does Facebook got a logged path on how it grew from zero and when deploying it follows the same route but in a way faster movement?. given the reports on how the Facebook chat activated, the answer may be yes.

CNET web 2.0 focused blog, webware got a Hands-On post explaining briefly what could be read in pieces all around and provides a good way to undertand how it works.

I certainly must Applaud the way the integrated the chat by using the status bar as the way to dock the chat window dialogue, a simple but efective way to riff but put their on spin on what can be experienced with Google Gmail Gchat. it also pop ups a window to follow the conversation if what you are interested is talking. the window display it is indeed the standar fare of a chat board  mixed with a IM client.

At this rate of deployment, Facebook Chat should be completely released by mid-april if fast or by the end of the month if they decide to go slow. more details as they come.
