Cameraphone video of the upcoming Facebook IM feature has been posted over on TechCrunch. We mentioned it in brief in our earlier coverage:
The launch date for Facebook Chat is set in the nebulous area of "the coming weeks," according to Product Manager Peter Deng. The Chat will function as an overlay, similar to GTalk in GMail that sits in a UI at the bottom of the browser screen. It can also, like GTalk, be popped out into a seperate window.
At the moment, they're debating whether or not to create a whole set of off-site APIs or to go with Jabber compatibility, but neither of which will roll out with the initial launch of chat.
Here's the video:
There are some very nifty things in the pike if this ends up being the interface for the IM system. My previous comments still stand as for the Jabber compatibility (my preferred method of integration with the rest of the world). The in-Facebook experience with the bottom control bar really gives the site a feeling of a web-based operating system ala Windows XP/Vista.
