I seem to remember being able to chat with Facebook users from my personal server, but it doesn’t look like it was possible [1]. Actually, searching for this stuff made me sad :( There are blog posts from Facebook still up about how they are using XMPP [2]. There are still notes out there on setting it up in Pidgin [3].
