Facebook is about to launch an IM software named FriendVox (as shown in the figure)

According to foreign media reports, Facebook will launch a beta version of an IM (instant messaging) client software this Friday, which will likely be named FriendVox. Unlike other instant messaging software, Facebook's IM software does not require downloading, installation, or registration. It can be used directly with a Facebook account, meaning that it is likely to be an online service, a Facebook app based on the F8 platform.
