This plugin gets to be the only plugin ever made that will connect OkCupid's online messenger to the Pidgin Instant Messaging program (http://pidgin.im). It requires json-glib from the Pidgin-FacebookChat project to work sop please make sure to download it.

Special thanks to Temujin Ayamikhan for the custom icons. He worked really hard on rendering these in 3D for us.
