Setting up a Facebook account in BitlBee
Facebook's offering a XMPP server for some time already, which means you can use their chat using any XMPP/Jabber client, including BitlBee.
To be able to use it, you do need to have a Facebook username.

2 23:44:32 <root> Account successfully added
3 23:44:42 <wilmer> account set facebook/nick_source full_name
4 23:44:42 <root> nick_source = `full_name'

All contacts have numeric handles, which makes for very ugly usernames by default, since nicknames are generated from the IM handle. By setting the nick_source account setting to full_name, the nicknames will be generated based on the full names.
Alternatively, irssi users can use this script to rename the contacts. The nick_source setting was only added in BitlBee 1.2.5, and also the irssi script can translate some non-ASCII characters to something more IRC-friendly, whereas BitlBee will just strip everything non-ASCII.
