Facebook Chat with Pidgin

In a previous post, I wrote about how you can use Pidgin to replace Office Communicator (OCS). Now, I will show you how you can use Pidgin for Facebook chat, thereby making Pidgin a truly universal chat client!

• Start the Pidgin client.
• Add a new Account with the following details:
• Protocol: XMPP
• Username: yourfacebookusername
• Domain: chat.facebook.com
• Password: facebookpassword
• On the Advanced tab, untick "Require SSL/TLS".
