Use Renren chat with Adium for Mac OS X

As we did for QQ with Adium, we can connect to Renren (Xiaonei) chat with Mac OS X. This time it will be very easy, just need to fill an account with the right informations:

First we need to create a Jabber Account on Adium, we will use a special “ID”, which is your ID on Renren. If you don’t know your ID, just go to you profile page (个人主页), and look at the address bar, for me it’s like:

Profile address bar

Profile address bar

Just not the number after the “id=“. My Jabber ID (用戶名) will be “250388793@renren.com” and the password (密碼) will be the same as my Renren password.

Now let go to the Options pane (帳戶選項), to modify the connect server (服務器) option to “talk.renren.com” and verify that the port (端口) is “5222“. Then .. it’s finish, confirm and connect ! You’ll see all your friends, organized by groups :)

Hide your footprints on renren (xiaonei)

When you visit an user’s profile on renren (人人网, ex-xiaonei 校內网), you should have noticed that this user can know you went on his profile (on the myfoot page). Sometimes this can be really annoying, so we have a option to “hide our footprints”!

We can, with the footprints manager, add up to 3 profiles, and you’ll be totally invisible when you’ll go to see those profiles.
