BBC News service now on the web chat too (XEP-0071 & XEP-0045)

Hi all,

I had some free time and wanted to try something new so I started to
play with smack and stophe again. As a result you can now read BBC
news in Lobstermonster Lounge and comment them in real time. Lounge is
here: http://www.lobstermonster.org/chat

I created a simple bot using smack which has subscribed to the BBC
News PubSub Service. As it gets new message it sends the messages
directly to the chat channel.

The bot publishes the messages as XHTML-IM messages, so the output is
directly nice and fit's the chat.

Join the chat here: http://www.lobstermonster.org/chat

Cheers! Great start of the summer for all!

ps. the chat is done mainly for personal use for my buddies, but be
free to join to use it, just don't take bugs too seriously. I'm sorry
but I'm sure you'll find some. There has been no heavy testing on
www.lobstermonster.org site (only FFox3.x > has been tested).

Oh, and one more thing,

if someone is wondering how it's really done, don't hesitate to
contact me (xmpp:tuomas@...), I'll be happy to
explain how it's done.
