What operating system are you using?

Facebook dropped XMPP support (which Pidgin uses) a while ago and seems
to have finally shut it off in the past day or two. They only use a
custom closed protocol now.

James Geboski is adding support for it as a Google Summer of Code
project. Last I heard, it was already usable. Here's the repo:
