Well pownce is going to be shutdown on December 15 2008 and with that Jance will be left out of purpose so I have to shut it down, since I’m not really pleased with the move ( I’m a pro user with lots of months left) and also I invested a lot of time developing Jance, anyway I think It was a good school for me on xmpp bots and services.
Here’s the link to the official announcement: Goodbye Pownce, Hello Six Apart
When I finish updating my scripts, and pages, I will shutdown Jance, thank you everyone who used Jance and I wish you luck on the social network you decide to move.
I’m now on:
- Identi.ca (My personal favorite)
- Jaiku (I can invite If you give me your email or visit jaikuinvites.com)
- FriendFeed(I Joined this to replace pownce, keep the same number of bots on my xmpp roster)

Well, here is it, I will keep an eye on it before I add it some where in the page, anyway I’m far more
active on identi.ca than on pownce or jaiku, also I support more the ideas that identi.ca represents.
Also I changed the badges at the right of the blog for some flash based ones, one for Pownce
one for Jaiku, they good look good.
We’ll see with time how it evolves.

First take a look of the fancy xhtml formatted answers that Gajim + Jance can produce:
It’s time to announce the public Releace of Jance repository, it’s released under the GPL V3.0
and you can give a look to it here:
Valkertown Public Mercurial Repositories
If you want to checkout the source of Jance bot:
hg clone http://hg.valkertown.org/jance.hg/
The whole process of coding this bot have been very interesting and been part of my current research on using xmpp as the foundation of some of the instrumentation systems I design and implement, it’s looking good. I have been measuring the traffic it generates client-server, bot-server and with proper configuration an xmpp bot can be useful in a high-latency low-quality network that are the rule on several of the systems I design.
Send patches and bug reports to pownceATvalkertown.org, those are always welcome.
Enjoy!

Well I have just spent a couple of day writings a jabber bot that uses the Pownce api to interact with the site. It has been a fun experience, I will publish the mercurial repository of the repo as soon as I
solve this questions.
- Should I publish the Pownce App key and secret along with the code?
- If I do so, are rethere any security implications of doing that?
- I haven’t checked, but Pownce Apps Terms could have something to say
In the mean while you can play with the one running at valkertown. Just add pownce@valkertown.org to any Jabber roster and type help.
The ongoing documentation is on my home page.
I wrote the bot using Python, Twisted for the Jabber stuff, Oauth to talk with Pownce, YAML to store user data and JSON(simplejson) to extract data from Pownce answers.
