Also, I went with the setup, and not only did facebook not support linux, it doesn't detect I'm on a linux system and started to download a .EXE file!

Feeling some pressure from google + ?

And GTalk 1-1 video chat and Google+ Hangouts both support Linux perfectly... looks like Google wins this user's eyeballs.

same thing. i thought that was complete fail on their end. a .exe? come on.

Not even as much as a "Sorry your operating system isn't supported at this stage!" watch this space type message, just an in your face EXE download!

Used to being a second class citizen but most sites of recent years have a recognizer at the very least!

It detected my Mac OS X just fine, asked me to execute a Java Applet and then make my Firefox crashed.

I restarted Facebook using Chromium and stared a Video Call. It works like charm.
