iChat: Add new account in Preferences, select type Jabber, enter username "<username>@chat.facebook.com" (where username is selected in Facebook settings, and you need to logout from Facebook after that change). For password use Facebook password.
- jackowayed 17y agoSame idea for pidgin: New account, select XMPP as protocol. Username is your username (which is your slug if you have a custom url. So I'm facebook.com/daniel.jackoway, my username is daniel.jackoway). Domain is chat.facebook.com. Password is your password. Only gotcha is that you then have to go to the "Advanced" tab and uncheck "Require SSL/TLS".

- stilist 17y agoI’m chatting with someone who hasn’t set a username, and it shows in iChat as uUSERNUMBER@chat.facebook.com. Might work on both sides.

- yurifury 17y agoThank you very much. The renaming is fairly annoying, can anyone think of a way to auto-name users?
- hachiya 17y agoA script to do /whois the first time, and rename the nick to the shown username would work. Here's one: http://a.ngus.net/bitlbee_rename.pl http://a.ngus.net/bitlbee_rename.pl
