http://www.facebook.com - So Facebook said that they will slowly be releasing and testing their new chat feature in different networks as a pre-launch beta. It seems that today, it's now in my networks.
Facebook chat allows you to start conversations with your Facebook friends that are online. In addition to that, the chat widget also diplays notificaions and lets you change your status. However, for those of you who don't want to be seen online or don't want to chat, there is an option to remain invisible.

http://www.facebook.com - Ah yes, the infamous Facebook mini-feed. If a Facebook user doesn't know how to tweak their privacy settings, the mini-feed can be used as the ultimate internet stalker tool. Despite that, Facebook has included the option for you to import stories from other sites into your mini feed so that your stalker can spy ... er ... I mean your friends can see what you're doing on the internet outside of Facebook.
As of right now, you can import stories from Digg, del.icio.us, Flickr, Yelp, and Picasa. This means that your Facebook friends will be able to see what stories you Digg or when you upload new photos to Flickr account. I hope to see support for more sites in the future. Thanks Facebook!

The presentation is also really nice. Tools are easy to find and menus simple to navigate. The interface is undoubtedly inspired by Photoshop.

"Webapp ItsOurTree.com builds your family tree in a dynamic, drag and drop, zoom in and out interface. In what feels a little like Google Maps for your family, enter your name and email address, then add your parents, your kids, their parents, etc. Each person node expands to a full profile with fields for the birth date, a photo, maiden name, place of birth, current location, and an area to free-type notes and stories, too. The result is a good-looking visualization of your ancestry—in fact, filling in the blanks becomes addictive quickly. Looks like a great place to sit down with your grandparents online and save the stories, places, and names that you don't want to forget."
