What is Fibby?

Fibby is an add-in for Windows Live Messenger. When enabled, Fibby sets your Messenger PSM (personal status message) with your Facebook status, and updates it periodically. Your buddies on Messenger can now be up to date on your Facebook status.

And with SMS enabled on Facebook, you could in effect update your Messenger PSM via SMS!

Installing Fibby

Fibby requires that you have a Facebook account and Windows Live Messenger 8.0 or higher. It also requires the Microsoft .NET framework 2.0.

After you install Fibby, you need to add Fibby as an add-in to Messenger. To do that, follow these steps:

• Open Windows Live Messenger, click your display name at the top of the window, and select Options from the drop-down menu (or type Alt-T and select Options).
• Select "Add-ins" from the items in the left pane.
• Click the "Add to Messenger" button and browse to the directory where you installed Fibby. The default location is Program Files\Fibby. Select the file "Facebook.StatusUpdater.dll"
• Fibby will start and prompt you through the next steps.

Once you have successfully added Fibby, you need to turn it on by clicking on your display name on the main Messenger window and selecting "Turn on Fibby". (It may take up to a minute for your PSM to update.)
