+Note that some of these plugins may be insuffiecently maintained, outdated, or not working at all.
+- '''NateOn:''' For info see [NateOn here]
+- '''Microsoft Live Communication Server (LCS):''' The plugin for LCS is called SIPE. (Could someone add more info?)
+- '''Xfire:''' A plugin for Xfire integration is available here: [https://sourceforge.net/projects/gfire/]
+- '''Facebook Chat:''' Facebook is working on exposing an XMPP interface to the world. (See: [http://developers.facebook.com/news.php?blog=1&story=110] and http://bugs.developers.facebook.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3152) When that's done, Pidgin will support Facebook Chat just like any other XMPP service. There is also a plugin for Facebook.
