Hello, I wanted to share a little hack that my team put together  
yesterday. If you use OS X, Campfire and Itunes check it out.

Kumbaya = RubyOSA + iTunes + Marshmallow  
[http://www.42squared.com/2006/10/24/kumbaya-rubyosa-chatbot-for-campfire/](http://www.42squared.com/2006/10/24/kumbaya-rubyosa-chatbot-for-campfire/)

Yesterday we combined three of our favorite things: RubyOSA, iTunes, and  
Marshmallow (the chatbot for Campfire).

Enter Kumbaya. Kumbaya is a modified Marshmallow bot that polls your  
iTunes  
with RubyOSA (on Mac OS X) and broadcasts the name and artist of the  
song  
currently playing into a Campfire chat room. We released the source and  
invite you to check it out, modify it, and use it freely.
