I’m tinkering with a project to pull down select RSS feeds and, when changes occur, send a summary of them as an instant message over AIM.
I started mulling over how to do this as I was strolling around San Francisco receiving AIM messages on my AT&T Wireless cellphone. There’s a service called JabRSS that provides this, but I’m looking to do something that I can wire to a desktop aggregator, or something I can do a quick config of from my desktop to push stuff to my AIM account .
I could do this in AppleScript, I suppose…but where’s the fun in that? 
It wouldn’t be cross-platform.
Jabber’s probably at least a good place to start…anybody have other suggestions?
