Facebook Chat launches XMPP Support

In a move that has me saying “Well its about freakin’ time!” – Facebook has launched XMPP Support for their popular Chat Service.

Now, normally I don’t take the time to write out about this kind of thing – except that no other blog post has detailed what your connection credentials are – so I’ll go ahead and write those for you.

Login: USERNAME@chat.facebook.com
Password: Your freakin’ Password

If you do not yet have a username (What the heck is wrong with you?  Why not?!) then you can create one at http://facebook.com/username/. (By the way, that’ll also be an email address soon, just so ya know).

    If its common it might be difficult to get, however, be creative and you can usually find something.
