Facebook has announced on its developer blog that it’s building a Jabber/XMPP interface for Facebook Chat, in its efforts to add new features to enhance the Chat experience. So, in the near future, Facebook users can expect to use Jabber/XMPP-based chat applications to connect to Facebook Chat.

This new feature will also enable Facebook users with such desktop clients to communicate with their friends, see which of their friends are online, view friends’ profile pictures, and set their status messages. This will all be possible after users authorize their applications to securely connect and communicate with Facebook Chat.
