TechCrunch just announced that Facebook will be releasing instant messaging functionality. The instant messaging will be on the Jabber open source platform, thus allowing services such as Gtalk, Adium (Apple), and Trillian (Windows) to be compatible. As soon as there are screenshots available I will post them.

This is huge news, and something that will most likely affect my productivity level. So, here’s to me uninstalling Adium at work.
