you should use your username for facebook chat for xmpp not your email address. you can set a username via account settings in FB.

and wait a day for login (not kidding – there is a propagation on FB side, your username wont be available to chat immediately)

yup, I got 530 too. For the login name, I used my vanity url on facebook. (Vanity URL’s == prepping for jabber? maybe)

Hope it works soon. I am unsure how to set up DIGEST-MD5 and X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM for SASL on my end with Pidgin, but maybe it’s not necessary.

Next up: XMPP for Myspace Chat!

Thanks for your great work in the interim on the pidgin plugin!

I just tried as you suggested, but had not much luck.
First you have to pay attention and replace the @ in your login emailaddress with a %40. But then I just got a “530: service not available”

Too bad, that would be really cool!
