It seems like facebook guys loves Gmail as their upcoming feature chat seems to be inspired by GTalk in Gmail. According to Josh Wisemen at Facebook blog, their chat feature is completely ready but they are waiting to make it secure as much as possible. Naturally it cant be complete clone of Gtalk, it has its own unique features. A bar will be soon seen on every page on facebook which will allow users to control user status, etc.

The chat bar will be seen on every facebook page & tour chats will be saved as soon as the page changes. Now the notifications will also be seen on this bar only. While chatting your friends mini-feed notifications will get in the conversation.

It will also let you know who is online or not. You can customize your status or you may go offline in chat while you just prefer surfing facebook. You won’t have to build your buddy list again, all your facebook friends will automatically configured.

The development team is working hard on privacy of users & thus they have postponed its release. The lines from facebook blog are “Before we jump head-first into this new real-time approach to Facebook, it’s worth spending some time thinking about privacy. Conversations are one-to-one, completely private, and only between Facebook friends. The message history is saved from page to page, and even between login sessions, but it is not logged permanently.”
