Re: [orca-list] Got Gwibber to work ... sort of

Doesn't look like it.  For updating your status and for commenting, 
liking and that sort of thing yes but for  chat, use Empathy or my own 
personal favorite, Pidgin.  Pidgin works very well with Facebook except 
that, from time to time, on Precise, a notification about somebody going 
off line or coming online will make Orca freeze up.  What Pidgin will 
not do, however is read your facebook status or feed.
