How to connect to Facebook Chat

Since everyone are now more likely to login in their facebook.com account rather than their respective IM account. I decided to connect to facebook.com chat using Pidgin since I'm not the type who spends hours logged in facebook.com

Here a setting how you can also connect to facebook.com chat service.

Pidgin:

Go to "Accounts" and select "Manage Accounts."
On the Basic tab, enter the following info:
Protocol: XMPP
Username: (your Facebook username)
Domain: chat.facebook.com
Resource: Pidgin
Password: (your Facebook password)
Local alias: (your name)
Click the Advanced tab, then enter the following info:
Connect port: 5222
Connect server: chat.facebook.com
