my blogs, my blog followers, my IM contacts, Jabber SPAM

I have no idea, how often my blog articles get read. I have no idea, whether my friends read my blogs. I am not too optimistic there.

But I do have quite an extensive list of IM contacts. And there is that nice book on XMPP resp. Jabber at O'Reilly's. Why not write an application, that takes my blogs' syndication feeds and broadcasts them to my IM contacts. Maybe that will make my IM contacts list quite shorter in a pretty short time. Who knows?

Maybe there is already some software out there, that does exactly that or just almost. Maybe you want to tell me.
