[all variants] Pidign and Facebook Chat

[bilal.17]

social.im is really crappy cuz as previously mention you have to re invite all over your friends..

I think this has something to do with the fact that facebook does not allow spamming, so you can't just invita everyone in one go. even then I wouldn't like to invite everyone in one go, I'd be labelled a stalker!!!

This looks really promising, wonder how they did it, wish it would come to linux, I'm happy with pidgin, but they seem to be working very hard!

I have been using Digsby for Windows for several months now. They have indeed added Facebook chat/friend online status to their app some two weeks ago, and it works like a charm.

So there's got to be a way to do this, as I don't believe they are affiliated with Facebook. (Facebook APIs?)

I found this, but I can't figure out what folder it goes in to make the .so file

Guyz,

There are stuff online :

Looks like it's just missing a debian packager !

It's not what we're looking for. This is straight from the site:

IMPORTANT: This plugin has nothing to do with facebook chat. This was created before facebook came out with facebook chat. If you are looking for a way to integrate facebook chat into pidgin, this is not the place to look. Sorry.

Sorry to reopen an old thread, but I've been working on Facebook chat for Pidgin for the last week or so, and have got buddy lists downloading and messages sending http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/

Great job. It seems to be working.
