I love the idea of Facebook being "just an XMPP server". Even though I knew they use XMPP for Facebook chat, I never thought about it that way.

  I needed a way to use Facebook Chat without seeing the news feed. Because, I would always impulsively and uncontrollably click on some link and then start going through people's profiles as a chain reaction. I now just use Pidgin to connect their XMPP server (group chat doesn't work though, they use their own proprietary implementation for that).

      If I'm not mistaken, the desktop app was Windows-only. I'm using Linux on my desktop.
