ROR apps sending to popular IM networks

Rails

Hi all,

Does anyone have experience having RoR send messages to popular IM
services (AOL, Yahoo!, MSN, etc). Are people using Jabber gateways
and XMPP4R? What about the various APIs from these networks?

Thanks,

Mark

I recommend libpurple, which is what pidgin/gaim/adium sits on (see
http://pidgin.im/ if you don’t know what I’m talking about), and the
ruburple gem to interface with it.

Thanks,
