WhoIsLive: Free

Have you ever wondered who's looking at your Facebook page at any given moment? Who hasn't, right? Well a new browser plug-in now in beta can not only tell you, it can also let you strike up a conversation with them.

NEWS: Facebook Can Serve as Personality Test

Now available for Firefox and Internet Explorer -- a Chrome version is coming soon -- WhoIsLive creates a sidebar in your browser that lists the other people who are looking at the same web page you are, whether on Facebook or elsewhere. For each visitor, WhoIsLive displays the person's full name and photo along with a link to their Facebook profile. Using that list, you can broadcast a message for everyone else on the page to see, or you can chat with people individually. The only catch, it seems, is that others must also have installed WhoIsLive to show up on your list; otherwise, you won't know they're there.
