Talk to Your Friends on Facebook From Windows Live Messenger
Posted: 18 Aug 2010 07:53 AM PDT
With the release of Windows Live Essentials beta 2 Windows Live Messenger
received a new feature which people have been craving for a while: the
ability to chat with Facebook friends.
http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-live-essentials-2011-beta-2-available-now
This has been expected as in the previous beta there was some Facebook
integration mostly having to do with status updates, but it did show
contacts as well. The messenger also has connectivity with many other social
networks truly making this a social hub.
Directly from Windows Live Photo Gallery you can upload to Facebook,
YouTube, and Flickr, as well as the company's own SkyDrive. Then from
Windows Live Messenger you can chat with all your friends on Facebook
without needing to visit the site. The interface works the same as a regular
instant message, so this will feel right at home.
A note on how to set up Facebook chat: If you have already connected
Facebook to WLM, you will have to click on the Facebook icon on your contact
list to edit the connection, and then make sure you place a check by the
chat option. Click Connect with Facebook and it should update your contact
list momentarily.
