Wrote a little app that parses Digg's RSS feeds, and outputs any new stories into an IRC channel. Just another small app to go alone with Digg Notify. I again made a static page for it, where you can find out more info. If you're interested in any VB.net socket programming you should check out the source to it. It's very easy to understand, and this is a basic example of how to use it. From here it should be easy to make an IRC client or IRC bot.

      It would be great if you made a version that could run on unix/linux.

      Did you try mono? I will see what I can do with java or perl.

      Great work on the bot :)

      Any chance this could be modified to only report stories with the # of diggs above a certain threshold? It might not be that trivial though since there isn’t really a “>1000 digg feed”, but maybe it could check the count on the digg page.

      Great BOT. I was wondering if there was any necessary setup to it. I know some bots run inside of mIRC so you can edit their perform and hide the host, and was wondering if there was a way to do that on here

      I made a slight modification if you’re interested, which makes the app run as a systray icon instead of a console window.

      geekforhir...gBotVB.zip is the modified source + binary :)

      Updated my zip, it now has a MinDiggs option in the ini - stories will only be saved/printed if they have more diggs than that number.

      Collin, you never cease to amaze me.

      The 1.3 IRC bot works great. Now all it needs is selection between colors and non-colors and it’s perfect.

      now we just need one that will take a proxy as an argument

      Should make it so it can only display stories over a certain amount of diggs. Looks cool though. Good work.
