IMified

I’m testing an interesting service called IMified at the moment. It’s basically an Instant Messaging bot that provides access to various functionality by sending and receiving messages via your usual client. It works on all the major networks, although I’m only really interested in XMPP (Jabber).

IMified provides a framework where new ‘Widgets’ (essentially bot applications) can be plugged in. There are a range of Widgets already available, covering things such as reminders and todo lists, as well as support for blog posting to a range of different platforms such as Wordpress and Livejournal (which I used to post this message).
