On my to-do list.

Today I was actually hoping to get Twitter integrated, but Twitter's been down all day. :(

give the key, please

Awesome tool. Did you also write the function used on the freenode PoEBot? If so, tcl? Is the site itself PHP, or ...?

I have no idea who created or runs the IRC bot. I considered monitoring the IRC channel and taking cues from that bot as to when to grab new posts but after watching for a while, I realized the IRC bot is missing posts. For example, it never announced Edwin_GGG's last post in the "massive news update". So maybe it's only watching Chris, Mark, and a select other few. The site is PHP, running on Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk. It is polling via cron at a constant interval, but I have plans to change this once I put together some analytics regarding GGG's post times. As a basic example, I could double the polling rate for each individual poster during their peak hours but halve it when they're asleep. I'm putting a lot of care into not putting a significant load on GGG's servers.

Me either, which is why I asked. I suspect you're right, it's only watching certain accounts.

No experience with Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk, but I do have a few dedi/vps boxes at my disposal. Good call on the poll interval consideration. Appreciate the response.
