I don't know how they think not having chat channels is a good idea. Cause Steam and XBoxLive don't have channels probably. ...have you used steam? it has groups and channels and you can pretty much make a new one whenever you want without any real restrictions. imo it's a great way to keep track of which friends you play with for different games.
Even if Steam didn't have channels, the way it's designed to not run the relevant games at the same time means that using other chat applications at the same time is less intrusive--it's pretty normal to be on IRC with Steam in the background and jump in a game on moment's notice. By contrast, the way B.net 2.0 is set up, you either have to be alt-tabbing back and forth, or be playing in windowed mode, both of which are not ideal.

What happened to not releasing the game until it's "Blizzard Quality?" I sense shenanigans.

Personally I hate Facebook, because it takes too much time to "flip through the pages" and to make your own one look awesome. We are turning into a society of purely digital lives and that isnt good. At least I wont like it to live in the Matrix. The time spent to browse a forum or update Facebook should instead be spent in the real world and adding Facebook to the game is just an easy way to promote the game and get more customers. It doesnt actually improve the game itself and is consequently a waste of resources IMO ...

this game is supposed to ship in just over and month, and THIS is supposed to convince me that the game is ready and good to go? no f-ing way. before the beta came out i would have jumped at the chance to preorder sc2, now its a sad pathetic shell of a game to me, making me think more and more that all of blizzard's successes have been a succession of flukes one after the other.

Great idea to implement facebook, everybody will know that I'm a geek playing a video game days and night. 
|
The game's going to be cracked already to add LAN back in, so Blizzard can suck it.
|
This is not necessarily a bad thing, as it will probly promote E-Sports in the western world.

This is clearly a business decision and has nothing to do with functionality. I believe facebook is paying some kind of royalty to get onto b.net. Activision only cares for profits if you guys haven't figured that out. So buy their stock

you just read my mind ! No chat room and no LAN is fucked up, It's like Blizzard is begging for pirate servers to spawn everywhere.
Is there any kind of justification by Blizz on how Facebook is going to be positive for SC2 coz I fail to see the point ?
On a sidenote : If there's no LAN feature, how exactly are you supposed to hold an offline tourney let alone a televised league ? Maybe they think the progamers will just play custom games with a stone age latency on BNET 2.0 ?
I've never been bitching about balance because I know it's a real hard job but man, Bilzzard really failed with lan and chatrooms.

Living in the matrix would be lame but playing games in the matrix would pretty bad ass. I don't know about you but I'd be all for virtual reality games.

That's because Facebook isn't a place to show off, it's a place to connect and commute. No one should be trying to have an "awesome Facebook page."
Your argument has a lot of conflicting arguments and ones that don't tie in together. Time spent browsing FB will be better spent irl, but what about gaming in general? It is certainly detrimental to time spent out there as well.
I do agree that Blizzard might have been better off not concentrating on it, but I'm not really sure how their company functions in terms of how the work is divided/how long it takes to implement this/etc.
I'm mainly curious to see how this implementation takes effect in and out of the game.
