You can now follow breaking news in Lobstermonster Lounge too!
June 15 - 2009I wanted to try some new stuff: XHTML-IM and smack. As a result you can now read BBC news in Lobstermonster Lounge and comment them in real time.
I created a simple bot using smack who has subscribed to the BBC News PubSub Service. As it gets new message he 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.
The news are displayed as XHTML messages only for web clients that supports "get elements using tagname and namespace" -JS function. Sorry, I'm lazy sometimes.
Come to follow and discuss what's happening in the world!
