Facebook Chat for Pidgin

Posted on May 13, 2009

My favourite instant messenger application just got better! There is now a plugin for Facebook.

pidgin-facebookchat is a Facebook chat plugin for Pidgin and other libpurple based messengers. It connects to the new Facebook Chat IM service without the need for an API key.

Currently the plugin can log into the Facebook servers, grab the buddy list, send/receive messages, add/remove friends, receive notifications, search for Facebook friends and set your Facebook status.
