I have *no* idea how I missed it, but Facebook Chat is now officially XMPP-capable! Lifehacker spells it out in an excellent post titled “How to Add Facebook Chat to Your IM Client“:
If you are using a multi-protocol IM client such as Pidign, Adium, or iChat, set-up is really easy—you just add a new Jabber or XMPP account, the username being your username@chat.facebook.com, with your password being the same as your Facebook password. If you still haven’t gotten a Facebook username (the tag that appears after www.facebook.com/ for your profile page) you’ll need to go to your Settings page to enable it.
All I have to say is: ‘HUZZAH!!!!!!’
