Fishbowl is an open source desktop client for Facebook. It was designed as a Microsoft Windows client (Microsoft .NET Framework) application, which was developed by uxlabs (at Microsoft) by utilizing Facebook’s new stream APIs. The original purpose was to show off how a web platform can be utilized on a desktop client. Since it is a lab showcase application, therefore, it can be downloaded by technology enthusiasts and Facebook users but it is not supported anymore by the original developer i.e. Microsoft. The unique thing about Fishbowl is that it provides a novel desktop experience to Facebook by arranging commonly used options in a different format. For example, the feeds are visible with larger images and the friends list is horizontally aligned with curved thumbnail images.

You can also zoom in or out of a page by clicking on the + or – buttons from the right-hand side of the main interface.You can enter your status message from the top left-hand side text box below your name.

Fishbowl is an interesting application for integrating your Facebook account into a desktop application. Unlike many commonly developed desktop clients for web platforms, it is also surprisingly stable and smooth in functionality. However, it is worth mentioning here that despite upgrading to version 2.05, Fishbowl has been unable to rectify the problem of excessive memory usage. The memory intensive attribute of Fishbowl had also been noticed earlier when it was initially released by Microsoft. Unfortunately, this problem has not yet been rectified in its latest version.
