Facebook to Launch Jabber Support for Chat

Since Facebook Chat launched a few weeks ago, chat application developers have been clamoring for the ability to integrate Facebook Chat into their apps via Jabber/XMPP. Tonight, Facebook will announce upcoming support for a Jabber interface to Facebook Chat that will allow users of third parties to:

  • Chat with your friends inside Facebook from the client of your choosing
  • See which of your friends are online and view their profile pictures
  • Set your status

Jabber support marks a major step forward in the evolution of Facebook Chat.
