Dominiek ter Heide had a dream. A dream of a "Twitter Service that will allow us to track the Blogosphere." So he built it, and blogged about the process! Dive in to his post to learn about building Twitter bots that talk our service via Jabber/XMPP.
If Ruby's your thing, you'll also learn about some great tools for XMPP, managing background tasks, and more in Dominiek's post. If it's not, you can take much of Dominiek's approach and apply it in your favorite language with XMMP libraries like python-xmpp for Python, XMPP.NET for C#, Gloox for C++, Smack for Java, xmpp4moz on the Mozilla platform, or one of many other libraries out there.
Jabber is great for way more than just chatting with your friends, and until now it's been up to talented developers like Dominiek to muddle their way through building Twitter bots and applications with the protocol. I'd like to put together an "official" guide to developing Jabber/XMPP applications for Twitter in the near future. Until then, soak up the knowledge that our great developer community is sharing!

And Net::XMPP2 for Perl. Quite useful.
Thank you for mentioning my project but it is rather incomplete. I would suggest something like agsXMPP or Jabber.net until further notice.
