Facebook is rolling out their new Chat client today - surely a potential blight on global productivity if this office is anything to go by. And it's very hot news on Twitter, judging by this graph from the very wonderful Twist.
It will be interesting to compare this data with Google Trends. I don't expect we'll see quite such a jump on Google Trends as that is measuring what people are searching for, whereas Twist is looking at what people are talking about.
Will Facebook Chat work? I don't think it can ever be as omni-present as MSN Messenger - it just feels a bit too much like hard work to me to have to go to Facebook, check which friends are online, etc, etc.
