Just confronted a great plugin for Pidgin which lets gives you the ability to chat with your Facebook Contacts/Friends (similar to Facebook Chat Option). This plugin logs through your facebook account to their chat servers, grabs the buddy list, send/receive messages, add/remove friends, receive notifications, search for Facebook friends and set your Facebook status easily.

To install this plugin, Follow these easy steps.

1- Download and install the Plugin from here.

2- After installation, Restart Pidgin.

3- Click on Tools and then Plugins. It will detect all the new installed plugins.

4- Click on Accounts, click Manage Accounts

5- Click Add and you’ll see facebook option there.

6- Select Facebook, Enter your email address and password which you use to connect. A small window will pop-up which will show you a certificate, click OK.

7- Click on Accounts, Manage Accounts and check your Facebook Profile and you’re ready to chat with your facebook friends.

It’s really a nifty application which also shows you new notifications / emails you’ve received and much more.

    This is the first time I’ve commented here and I must say you give genuine, and quality information for bloggers! Great job.
    p.s. You have an awesome template for your blog. Is it a free template or did you have it designed especially for you, I’d love to talk to your designer !?
