pious soul has accepted the demand of users Kopete and started to implement a plugin to allow connection with Facebook Chat, the instant messenger for KDE (which among others already supports MSN, Yahoo and Gtalk). The status of the plugin is not likely to see him in a public warehouse, but as Duncan says in his blog, the plugin is almost ready and already up and running with only a few parts to file. In practice, being optimistic, I would hope that This plugin makes its official entry in KDE after the release of version 4.3, scheduled for late July, as the same is now in a state of hard freeze that does not allow the addition of new features (we're already at version Beta). The request for this plugin on bugs.kde.org is now a year old, but has not been implemented prior to the announcement by way of wanting to support the facebook chat protocol Jabber standard, already used for example by Google Gtalk and its already supported by Kopete. But since the announcement followed hard facts, Duncan decided that we could not wait any longer given the fact that Facebook has become the means by which more and more people keep in touch. I really hope that Kopete will officially receive this functionality as other instant messaging programs to multiple protocols, such as pidgin are already able to use the chat service of the most popular social networks.
