How To : Setup Facebook Chat in Pidgin with Jabber/XMPP

Facebook has announced that they are using the Jabber/XMPP protocol on Facebook Chat. This means that we can use the IM client to chat. Actually, it has been published since 2008 in a note written by a Facebook engineer, and in February 2010 ago Facebook announced that Facebook Chat with Jabber/XMPP protocol was ready to serve Facebook users around the world.

To set up your IM client or Pidgin, you will need a little configuration. I use Pidgin in this instance, please adjust these parameters with your IM client.

1. Go to “Accounts” and select “Manage Accounts.”
2. On the Basic tab
