Posted: Feb 16, 2010

Found on Abhinav Singh:

Follow the steps to successfully run a facebook chat bot:
-Download Jaxl v 1.0.4 or checkout latest from trunk http://jaxl.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/jaxl-read-only
-Edit the configuration file config.ini.php as follows:

$env = "prod";
 
  $key = array("prod"=>array("user"=>"facebook_username",
                             "pass"=>"facebook_password",
                             "host"=>"chat.facebook.com",
                             "port"=>5222,
                             "domain"=>"chat.facebook.com"
                            ), 

Run from command line:

abhinavsingh@abhinavsingh-desktop:/jaxl$ sudo php index.php
OSType: Linux, Registering shutdown for SIGINT and SIGTERM
OpenSSL: Enabled for CLI
Attempting DIGEST-MD5 Authentication...
Starting Session...
Requesting Feature List...
Requesting Roster List...
Setting Status...
Done 

Try to send a message to your running chat bot and you shall receive a default message back from the bot saying ‘Hi, Thanks for your message’.

Cool… I’m gonna have a look at this… wonder if it is easily converted to Hyves.

Have you ever noticed the bots on Twitter? There are a lot of bots overthere! If you place a tweet regarding coffee (or ‘koffie’ since it’s a Dutch bot), you often get a @reply about coffee by a Tweep called Berend_Botje

Twitter chatbots are interesting indeed and on our wishlist. Jetty has made a first attempt, and a few of them are added to EE with status ‘closed’.

Would you like to spend to time on it?

We might ask Marcus Endicott to assist us. Marcus is a real expert on Twitter bots.
