There are plenty of negative reactions regarding the new Facebook Chat service ever since it made into effect last week. All the 'chaos' on the web-o-sphere are pointing on the specific downsides of the new feature and also the ugliness of the new FB Chat. Multiple page insisting their hatred on the new Facebook Chat has emerged over the last few days and the number of 'likes' are increasing as many as how Google Plus gained 10 million users in such a short time. Well, that's metaphor anyway. So, you do not like the Facebook Chat. Of course, why the hell do you need a hanging sidebar chat area on the right? Then, why do you need Facebook to recommend who you should chat with?
On top of that, Facebook has nothing but an annoyance to its users with the introduction of several redesign features. The recent introduction of new Chat is a fine example of that. Previously, Facebook has enrolled new form of photo viewing in theater mode which eek a lot of users (it looks fine with me) and also the recently enrolled facial recognition upon photo upload. If you are sick and tired of these, do follow these easy steps and your days will be brighter again (hopefully).
