Facebook Chat....

...is great because right now I'm talking to a friend in London, a friend in Tanzania and one in Kansas City. It's not costing me anything, it's easy to understand them, there's no random disconnections (unless the power goes out in Moshi) and response time is as quick as ever. Without facebook chat I would probably lose these friendships over time. Email is good but unless you do it frequently you just are caught up on major events in people's lives and not the little things that can make conversation flow easily. I'm grateful for Mark Zuckerberg or whichever one of his minions came up with fbook chat.
