Want to keep in touch with your Facebook friends throughout the day?
Here well show you how to easily add Facebook chat to the popular multi-protocol chat client Pidgin.
Previously you could only add Facebook chat to Pidgin through a plug-in that didnt always work correctly.
If you already have one, you should see it listed instead.
Now, open Pidgin, and click Manage Accounts.
Click Add…
Then select XMPP from the Protocol list.
Then, enter chat.facebook.com for the Domain, and drop your standard Facebook password.
Now, punch the Advanced tab, and uncheck the Require SSL/TLS box.
Also, double-check the Connect port is 5222.
Click Add, and your Facebook account is added to Pidgin.
Now Facebook will show up in your list of accounts, with the username your.facebook.username@chat.facebook.com.
This is a great way to keep in touch with your Facebook friends throughout the day.
