New Viral Channel: Facebook Launches Chat Invite API for Applications

Facebook has just released a new chat invite API that allows developers to let users send application invitations to their friends via Facebook Chat.

Here’s how it works:

  1. After embedding the fb:chat-invite FBML element, users will see a list of their Facebook friends that are online and available to chat. (Like with Facebook’s multi-friend selector, developers can choose which friends should or shouldn’t appear in this list.)
  2. Users select a friend to send a Facebook chat invite to.
