Facebook, that social network that can bring you more problems than happiness, has been working since May 2008 to implement the XMPP protocol, showing intelligence, vision and future interoperability by people who are crazy behind the vision of Zuckerberg.
This translates into good news for instant messaging clients that offer support for the XMPP protocol which is a free format and Google Talk, Jabber, Live Journal and Apple’s iChat already proven to be effective and enjoys a large community of users and developers. Probably we will see a Windows Live Messenger compatible with Facebook Chat.

At the time that Facebook Chat have XMPP this will be the instant messaging protocol used by adding more over 300 million users of the most famous social network today. After more than a year of development everything seems to be pointing to its launch and as demonstrated in a Facebook developers meeting in September, the engineering team has already prepared all the time server system to support the service. Apparently, the last trip remains to be resolved, through implementing the system of logging.
