fTalk 2

While Facebook is a social network that features many useful and user-friendly options, the chat system can not be counted among them. Limited and unattractive, it is simply not up to the site. So a replacement like fTalk is ideal for users who like to chat with their social network contacts.

fTalk is a messaging client that lets you connect with your Facebook friends easily and conveniently. As with any program of this type, you'll find a list of contacts sorted by status, whom you’ll be able to start a conversation with at any time.

This software also includes notifications that let you know when someone connects. It also incorporates a series of colorful emoticons to help liven up your chats.

Additionally, fTalk will give you shortcuts to certain sections in your friends’ profile, such as their information and photographs. You’ll also have an icon to quickly take you to your mailbox.

While it may not include as many options as other instant messaging clients, fTalk is a lightweight and practical alternative to the rudimentary Facebook chat system.

Pros:

• Includes colorful emoticons
• No need to login to Facebook to chat
• You can update your status through its interface

Cons:

• Limited features
