Hi all. My friend has just saved my Facebook! Here's how to use it with Jabber in Adium or Trillian. 1. Go to your preferences and select add account. 2. In the list of chat accounts, select Jabber. 3. Enter your Facebook username with chat.facebook.com <http://chat.facebook.com/>. For example, my username is shawn.krasniuk so my username for jabber would be [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>. 4. Enter your Facebook password and voila, you're all set. I hope this helps someone and I'm gonna give my friend a big thank you for the help.
