Is there a third option?

1243851 2011-11-16 21:35:00 Pidgin (http://pidgin.im/) can connect to Facebook, provided the plugin for this is installed. Erayd (23)
1243852 2011-11-16 21:43:00 Pidgin (http://pidgin.im/) can connect to Facebook, provided the plugin for this is installed.

Any issues authenticating that you know of?

1243853 2011-11-16 22:55:00 Any issues authenticating that you know of?Nope. I don't generally use Facebook at all, but I've just tested the pidgin chat plugin, and can confirm it authenticates fine. Erayd (23)

1243857 2011-11-17 07:40:00 I use Pidgin and love it.

Far better than that bloated crap that used to be MSN Messenger.
