Facebook announced on Wednesday morning that its in-browser Facebook Chat feature is now live to all members, over two weeks after it first debuted to a limited number of users.
It was clear that Facebook was concerned with the stability of the chat application, first debuting it on a Sunday when many members -- not to mention tech bloggers eager to report any flaw or bug -- might not be at their computers.
The social network then rolled out Facebook Chat incrementally, with different 'networks' on the site -- geographic regions, colleges, companies -- gaining access to it before others so that the new feature could stay under control. Some had the feature as early as 6 April; a number of large networks couldn't access it until very recently.
Facebook now has nearly 70 million users.
