Fishbowl the windows-based facebook client from UXlab@Microsoft,they build it by using Facebook SDK and the Microsoft Winodows Presentation Foundation aka WPF, it's opensoruce project where's the project codeplex page, it's quit amazing application it has a wonderful UX, it has some cons but that not bad for a preview version, i hope Microsoft add more options or solve cons but in other hand it has a great pros.

Pros:

  • High rich user experience, i think this application is based on WPF.
  • Fully integrated with Microsoft Windows 7 features.
  • The ability to share Photo and can view friend's and yours.
  • The small mini-mode feature.
  • The vertical scrolling simulate the touch screen experience with mouse.
  • Cons:

  • The group feed doesn't work, maybe work but with me not at all.
  • Doesn't support Events, Chat, and Messages.
  • Sometimes crash, it's not a bad thing it's a preview version.
  • Some screen Captures

    Conclusion: Fishbowl is the best and first Facebook windows client and has reach the optimal user experience with WPF technology, i can't leave it, now Facebook online just only for messages, events, groups, and activity like friend requests.

    I recommend to download and try it Fishbowl, but first look at the System requirements.
