Re: GNOME: lack of strategic roadmap

    Empathy is an instant messaging client, Facebook now allows access to
    its chat network via XMPP. I meant that on filling your info Empathy
    would configure an account for you so you can chat with your friends in
    Facebook using a free software client, Empathy, instead of the web based
    chat they have.

That sounds like a good feature, if joined with support for other chat
systems that people use, for identi.ca, and other such sites.

The line between "working with facebook" and "specifically encouraging
use of facebook" is a subtle one.
