i’ve been contemplating whipping together a jabber interface to blogger for awhile. of course, the job was made much easier with the release of the blogger api . and now, amidst the blooming of clients, we see the beginnings of what instant messaging and blogging could look like. heck, there could even be a grant available:
“Say, anyone doing anything with Blogger? I just checked out
flogger.jabber.org. Most cool! I know we’ve been looking at LiveJournal
integration too. The Blogger guys sent me email last week about their
interest. They just released an API at http://plant.blogger.com/api/ and
have setup a development interest group at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bloggerDev. Their back-end is a SQL Server
though. Let me know if you’re interested. Possible Jabber Grant
opportunity!”
jogger is neat, but it really only scratches the surface. the new blogger “recently updated” rss feed scraches a little more since it’d be easy together a “presence sensitive” updated blog notifier. but this is still just “hello world” type stuff. looks like i’ve got to get to work on putting some of my ideas together since the bar is getting raised. quickly.
