Messed around a bit and i found something really interesting.
You can chat live with anyone at facebook even people you are not connected.<p>You can even see when the other party is typing and read your message.<p>First find his facebook id. You can do it at http://findmyfacebookid.com/ or any other service.<p>http://www.facebook.com/othelis ---> id= 699313289<p>Open you browser's console at facebook and type<p>Chat.openTab(id) eg. Chat.openTab(699313289)<p>You can live chat with strangers and non friends now and get notified when they read your message!
I have two Facebook accounts that are complete strangers to each other.<p>When I sent a message from one to the other one, message didn't pop up. It was in "Others" section of my account inbox.<p>So it's basically a normal message that you can send to anyone now. Even Zuck
This is not surprising because Facebook treats chat and messages as the same. They both end up in the same thread. So as you can send a message to anybody, you can "chat" with anybody. Whatever you wrote will be received in their inbox as a regular message.<p>I am not sure what happens with people who choose not to receive messages from the public though.
You can also get someone's Facebook ID via this URL: <a href="http://graph.facebook.com/user_name_here" rel="nofollow">http://graph.facebook.com/user_name_here</a>
This isn't news. Chat and messaging are one and the same. You can message anyone, and you can migrate conversations arbitrarily between the chat and message UI, or even both at the same time. If you message someone who you don't have good reason to message, facebook will classify it as spam and send it to their "other" box.
