How to call friends on facebook


Have you ever wondered the reason behind the Internet Social boom? Why Internet has gone a way too social, digitizing friendships and relationships? If you are on facebook, twitter, myspace, orkut, or linkedin, you must know why. The reason for the mass popularity is due to the fact that almost all of us like to connect with each other, without delays.

On facebook you can post stories, share whats on your mind, upload videos, post pictures, tag your friends in videos and photos, play games, and yes of course, you can chat with them too.

However, chatting in text with your friends within a social networking site inside a web browser is easy, just like an online chat done via software (like yahoo, msn, skype, google talk etc.). Thousands of scripting languages and platforms supports text chatting now. But, text chatting is pretty slow. One is typing, the other waits, emotions can only be expressed in form of smiley, and offline messaging sometimes doesn't work.
