I figured out a few months ago how to enable Facebook chat using the original project, but having it all packaged and nice is definitely quicker. Thanks for that!

I agree that the Skype plug in is a little useless, but I don’t blame Andrea for that. More off, I blame Skype for not providing a plug in for Pidgin. That would be cool instead of running Skype separately, but either way it’s nice.

Thanks to have told us about those plugins 🙂
