History: ChompBot

Introduction

Chompbot, a specific kind of chumpbot, saves URLs mentioned on an IRC channel to a specific repository at del.icio.us. To save the URL, you must tell the bot about the URL.

Our chompbot goes by the name of tchmp and when you tell it to save URLs, they go into chomp_tikiwiki. That is the del.icio.us repository for any URL that you capture from a chat on #tikiwiki.

You may encounter other bots besides tchmp when ConnectingToIRC, e.g., TikiBot

Usage

<botname> <url> #<title>

Example

tchmp http://tikiwiki.org/ #Powerful CMS / Groupware
