Though Winfrey's website showed a comScore rating of just 2.4 million unique users in July, her official Facebook page has nearly 6.3 million fans. The live chat is no doubt designed to drive some of those fans back to Oprah.com.

Facebook is currently soliciting questions for the chat which begins at 1:30 PST on Thursday.
