Facebook has dropped their full-window "popout" chat interface, which was deprecated a while back (you could use it if you still had the URL laying around, but the link to it was gone)... and in the wake of that, I find that their instructions here: https://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php for setting up XMPP clients like Pidgin to connect to chat no longer work. If you use XMPP to chat on Facebook, could you contact me offlist and let me know if it a) works, b) just broke, or c) hasn't worked in a while? If you work in Facebook Engineering, um... :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

Well, this is twice in a row, which is a little bit embarassing. I was using the wrong password, folks. Amazing how much better it works when you get that little detail right. 2 days setting up gear in a 68F colo rack will kill you, apparently. Thanks to several people who looked into this, this afternoon; my apologies for the noise. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
