Facebook Chat with Pidgin IM

Written on June 21, 2009 by Zaki and No one have comment

Did you know you can add Facebook Chat protocol to Pidgin IM using a 3rd-party plugin made by Eion Robb (he also made Skype for Pidgin). Get it now from http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/.

This is a Facebook chat plugin for Pidgin and libpurple messengers. It connects to the new Facebook Chat IM service without the need for an API key. It was created by Eion Robb in May 2008 and has had major code additions by Casey Ho and Mark Doliner who joined the project at the end of 2008.
