Adding Facebook chat to pidgin instantly puts you in communication with all of your friends.  If Facebook ever develops their own chat application it could be an aim killer.  Facebook Chat for Pidgin keeps you always logged into facebook and gives you popup windows for facebook, instead of having to click back to facebook to write messages.

How to Add Facebook Chat to Pidgin

1. First download pidgin (a multi application chat program, aim, msn, yahoo all in one)

2. Visit the Google Api Code page and download facebookchat 1.35 exe for windows users.

3. Make sure Pidgin is not running. Install the Facebook Chat exe.

4. Start Pidgin and add a new account to pidgin.  You should now see Facebook chat.  Username is the email you use to log into facebook.
