I agree, the best part is the notifications! Thanks! Maria :-) Mari -

I use Skype for chatting a lot and I'm pretty sure all the folks I IM w/ on Skype are also my FB friends. I'm experimenting with changing from Offline to Online for just a few minutes here and there to see what happens. heehee. @Susan - you know, you bring up a good point!!

It could be a very powerful and effective tool for marketing if not abused. It makes Facebook a "one-stop shop" for communications if your actual friends and business associates (as opposed to your marketing "friends")are all using Facebook. It keeps you from having to toggle between FB and Yahoo or Skype or whatever IM client you are using. But I do appreciate your tip about how to turn it off. Though I have not had to use that yet, I, too,have been concerned that at some point there will be way too much spam or perverts or both. Time will tell if it is a good thing or a bad thing. If we can police ourselves and follow the rules of FB etiquette, I think it will turn out to be an excellent addition to our social marketing arsenal. Cheers, Susan Hi Mari,
