 ==== I'm using Google Apps with a non-Google e-mail address. Can I use Pidgin with this account? ====
 No, you can't. This is a server-side restriction. Anyway, using !GoogleTalk with a non-Google e-mail address (that is, an e-mail account that doesn't live on a !GoogleMail server) is not a good idea because these accounts appear to other users as <someterriblenumber>@talk.google.com rather than using something that someone could remember.

+==== How do I configure my Facebook Chat account? ====
+
+If you have set up a Facebook username, your Facebook username is your account username, and {{{chat.facebook.com}}} is the domain.  If you have not, things may be more complicated.  Fortunately, Facebook has a page which gives you all the information you need!
+
+Make sure you are logged into Facebook, and then load this URL: http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php
+
+Click the "Pidgin" link, and you will be presented with step-by-step instructions, with your Facebook username identified.
