Obviously chatting on Facebook is fun if you have quite a number of friends on Facebook who are fun to be with. However, the reverse can be the case if most people on your Facebook friends list are boring.
If a case where your friends keeps popping up saying hi, hello etc and you wish you can simply appear online to only friends you want to chat with on Facebook chat, this is the post for you. On Facebook, you can actually choose to appear online to only the friends you want to appear online to. And quite frankly, this is something I like.
Note: You can choose to appear online to all your friends on chat at anything you sole want to, you can also choose to appear as offline to all friends.
