Everyone knows how distracting Facebook can be when you’re trying to work. But, well, most of us plough on through anyway and try to combine productivity with regular bouts of social networking anyway.
With that in mind, Faces.im is a beautifully simple extension for Chrome, that serves up a little pop-out chat head at the side of the screen.
