Facebook Chat: How to chat with only some friends

This way you can keep chatting with the pals you want and appear offline to the ones you don't want to be visible to. This option can also give you some privacy on Facebook and allows for you to chat with maybe one or two friends only and not appear online to your other connections. So when you want to chat only with some of your pals you will not get disturbed by other people. Maybe you want to get online and chat with family, this is the option you would need to use.
