Facebook now has nearly 70 million 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 April 6; a number of large networks couldn’t access it until very recently.
Facebook announced 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.
