GTalk Status Message Collector


Written on September 6, 2008 – 11:38 pm | by admin

Hello Everyone,

I have started http://gtalkbots.com , based on the example demonstrated here. Try out and Help spreading the word.

I am not a big fan of twitter, but after I heard they do something similar to what I will be demonstrating here. I thought of building this one out. So here is my demo application, also known as GTalk Chat Bot.

Do the following things to get started:

  1. Add abhinav.bot@gmail.com in your GTalk Messenger.
  2. It will collect your status messages as and when you change them.
  3. You can view all your status messages by visiting this URL : http://abhinavsingh.com/webdemos/chatbot/
  4. The status messages will reflect at the above URL by the end of the day. (I had to do this because the server where I have my bot running i.e. my VPS is different from where my personal site is hosted, hence we have this restriction)
  5. Come back anytime after a day and you can see your status messages over time.

I am currently testing this application, which is running 99.99% bug free. Once I am satisfied with it, I will put the code for download with a possible explaination.

Meanwhile enjoy the bot.

Thanks.

      Good effort.
      I think you need to tweak it to ignore if status message remains unchanged by storing the previous message

      please hide the user ids in the page where ur displaying the status messages. They can be easily be food for spam bots… may be u want to hide or display only the first 3-4 chars…
