Facebook chat API/XMPP X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM in WinRT - windows-8

Please read my question first before voting it off-topic considering questions asking us to recommend or find a tool/library.
I am creating a WinRT app for only Facebook chat. I checked the developer site, I am recommended to use Facebook Chat via the Jabber/XMPP service. I tried to find that feature in Facebook C# SDK but it's not available in it.
I searched for XMPP library and found this. It's ASP.NET project though, I decided to port it for WinRT, but I read the latest comment in that blog post. It's telling this is also no longer working.
So anyone there know how to use chat API using WinRT supported XMPP library ? If library is not availble then can any one guide for any tutorial, I can't find relevant tutorial.
Those who think, chat/messenger is not available programmatically, please see IM+ app in Windows Store.

From the Facebook .NET SDK FAQ - http://facebooksdk.net/docs/faq/
Does Facebook SDK for .NET support Facebook Chat?
Facebook SDK for .NET doesn't support the Facebook chat (nor do we
have any plans to support it in the future). Facebook chat is based on
the xmpp protocol thus any existing XMPP
.NET libraries would work
with Facebook Chat.

Yeah, finally I found WinRT supported XMPP library as well as full fledged chat app. Kudos to developers.
Is there any free XMPP library which Supports WinRT?

Quickblox, video chat sample in a web client

My question is about the web client api of quickblox. There are several examples of video chat in all platforms except for a web client. Does the web api supports video chat out of the box?
I will appreciate a sample code.
Video Chat for web is unavailable by now. QuickBlox expects to release it in the nearest future, hopefully in a week. Feel free to follow our blog to learn about all updates.

Can I create a Hangout "client" program? (kind of Google TalkAbout)

As stated in the Google Talk for Developers site, you can use the provided APIs to build a client that connects to the Google Talk service.
I would like to know if it's possible (or it will be in the near future) to build a similar client to the google hangouts.
What we pretend is to build something similar to cloud print, that provides printing services to the cloud, but for audio/video streaming: a camera and microphone would replace the
printer.
Thanks a lot.
Talk and all the XMPP stuff is going to be put down soon.
The new Hangouts infrastructure is proprietary. It only has API to integrate Hangouts into web pages and applications, but no API or protocol to create an alternative Hangouts client software.
https://github.com/tdryer/hangups is a library that does exactly that, with a command-line client for Linux.
https://github.com/xmikos/qhangups is a PyQt-based cross-platform app that aims to provide an open-source alternative to the Chrome-based official desktop app. Unfortunately it's not working at the time of posting, but the author is investigating the issue.

Implementing dropbox api on older versions of ipad

I read the dropbox ios api documentation and one of the first things that is mentioned is that dropbox api support is for ios 4.2+
I want my app to support older versions of ios as well (3.2 onwards) -
I thought of implementing REST api but i have very little knowledge of OAuth and the rest api in general
I went through googles GTM - OAuth and had a hard time implementing it for dropbox and im not even sure its possible
What i would like to know is that if what is the best approach and what would be appropriate libraries or frameworks i can use to do this in the simplest way possible

Orkut API for iPhone

Does Orkut have any API to post messages from iPhone?
I am developing an app for iPhone and want the ability to post also to Orkut.
I have found APIs from Facebook and Twitter but not for Orkut.
There is not a iOS version of the orkut client. Google provided just the Java client, and the community built the PHP, QT and .NET clients by reverse engeneering.

Google Talk API for iPhone

Does anyone know how to connect to Google Talk using GData API. IS there a better api for iphone development for connection to Google Talk? I have been looking thru the examples I downloaded for the API but I don't see any support.
This is what I have been looking at.
Google Talk uses XMPP, and it has no GData API.
I suggest you look at: http://code.google.com/apis/talk/talk_developers_home.html
