    Now, I have never really been a fan of Facebook because it is just annoying but almost everyone on Earth have an account. At least, this time, I've put my FB account and contacts to good use.

    I can finally use iChat over YM.

    If you haven't set up a unique username for your FB account/page, I think you can see it when you visit your FB profile.. It's somewhere within the URL, composed of numbers I think.. That would be your username.. I don't know if it'll work on this trick, but it's worth a try..

    I can't log in. This is the message I get everytime I try to log in - iChat can't log in to chat.facebook.com because your login ID or password is incorrect. Help!

    Thanks, I got my username already. I did it going to Account settings but I can't log in. :(

    It's easier if you do this: login to your facebook like you would normally. Then, open a tab using this URL http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php.

    On that page, click on the iChat icon to get instructions.

    Been using this quite a while already. But I usually use Adium for Facebook, Gmail and YM so i can turn into invisible.
