The 8hands chat allows you to start an Instant Message with everyone of your social networks friends, that are also 8hands members.

There are 3 ways to start an IM chat :

1. The latest / top friends list: These lists are dynamic and based on your recent activities. if the 8hands logo appears on the thumbnail it means that the person is also a 8hands member and you can start an IM chat with him or her.
2. The favorite friends list: Your "Favorite Friends" list is a static list of 8hands users with whom you can conveniently interact via IM.
3. The history window: The history panel reveals all the interactions you had around your various social networks / blogs and sort them all in one table. Double click on a user's thumbnail will open the IM window chat.

The 8hands chat window gives you a straight access to your media zone and allows you to send your content to your friends with only one click. All you have to do is click on "Add Media" from the IM window.

You can also view your history panel, which contains all your previous chat history and your social networks events.
