Was it really back in 2009 that both Google and Facebook used XMPP compatible chats? Those were the days.

I was the cool guy with all the chats in one place: Pidgin.

We had the future in our hands but our corporate platform overlords made a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

Facebook had an XMPP client API. It didn't federate (and wasn't really true XMPP resulting in many quirks).
