BitlBee

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.

BitlBee is a communication gateway from IRC to other chat.

BitlBee natively supports the following IM networks/protocols:

• XMPP/Jabber (including Google Talk)
• Microsoft MSN Messenger
• Yahoo! Messenger
• AOL AIM
• ICQ
• Twitter API
  • plus all other Twitter API compatible services like
    • identi.ca
    • status.net
• HipChat

It can also be built to support libpurple ( the library Pidgin uses ) to extend it's protocol support. There are also 3rd party additional modules for libpurple.

Ideas

• Set up a Bitlbee to micropub protocol and you could post notes directly from chat. — gRegor Morrill
• Webmention notifications in bitlbee might be easy to set up, but maybe just direct IRC would be easier.
