Facebook Chat Now Works With iChat And Much More
First up, sorry for the lack of links in this post, I’m blogging from my iPhone.
Anyhoo, Facebook have just announced Jabber (XMPP) integration for their live chat service; welcome news for anyone wanting to use Facebook chat with iChat and many other standard chat clients.
I can now drop Adium (great as it is) and use my Mac’s native chat client. And anyway, I don’t use my Windows Live Messenger account anymore, does anyone?
Facebook have also made this technology available to developers wanting to integrate Facebook chat into their websites.
This is great news and I’m betting Joe Audette considers this for mojoPortal going forward. Ahem… hint hint :0)
This makes the best chat service on the net even more accessible, even if at times Facebook’s chat is a tad unreliable.
Happy chatting!
