FriendFeed Jabber/Gtalk Bot
When we heard yesterday that FriendFeed had released their API we figured we’d go ahead and offer some IM integration right away. We’ve created a Jabber/Gtalk IM bot for posting entries to your friendfeed stream. It supports posting links and messages for now. Add friendfeed@imified.com friendfeed@bot.im to your jabber/gtalk buddy list and send it a message to try it out. Send “help” to the bot to see how it works.
We held off on offering IM alerts of updates and comments because we want to hear from you on how you’d like to see them work. Do you want alerts of all activity? Alerts only from certain friends? Alerts from certain services? Please let us know and we’ll follow your lead.
The friendfeed IM bot was created in just an hour or so using the IMified API. If you’d like to create your own friendfeed bot or a bot for your web site or personal use, head over to the developers page and request a beta invite. Our API makes it ridiculously simple to integrate IM in your applications. We’re really close to leaving beta and launching our new developers site that will include instant bot setup, usage reporting, and external network integration with AIM, MSN, and Yahoo.

[...] Like a lot of other people right now, I am going through a bit of a love affair with Friendfeed and I am reading what I can find on the service. Now that Friendfeed has opened up their API to developers, we are starting to see the first of the third-party services appearing. My favourite one is Imified’s IM updating bot. [...]

As a start, I hope you provide alerts for all activities. Then you could gradually allow users to tweak the alerts.
I just came across your application and it looks like it has a lot of potential. Thanks for this wonderful application.

Imified just doesn’t work, its been third time I have come back in the last one year to check it out but it just doesn’t work. Either the bot is off-line or just doesn’t reply, once it replied but just replied back what I said to it, i have tried both msn and Google app for domain id , seems like I am not the only one facing this problem…
And there is just about nowhere one could contact for help!!! so cool…

Tried both AIM & Google Talk bots - both dont work…. offline and dont talk back.
seems everyone is having problems…. please address this issue with either a FAQ or a blog post.

Hi,
It’s a good ap, but can’t support utf-8 now, right?
I strongly suggest to support unicode.
thanks

The Friendfeed-Bot is a great thing.
I would like to get larms for all the activity of my friends . With that I could use imified for the most part to use friendfeed. That would be nice.

thanks, nice chatbot
i’d just like alerts of all my friendfeed, though having it optional would be a good idea to start with, methinks.
filtering for different types of alerts would be cool, but currently i’d just like to be able to switch them on.
thanks again
