Partychapp appears online, but is not responding to messages. We're not sure why, but we're assuming it's an issue with AppEngine. Will investigate Update: Back to normal - issues were due to h...

PartyChat is pretty good place to share and talk about links you come across. To make it even easier, we've added a /share url command. This command looks up the title of the web page at url and...

Well, we're in the process of switching service providers and Mihai's power just went out, so our "dual homing, it can't fail!" strategy is not looking so solid now. The state file is lost behind...

PartyChat has thus far used Google Talk accounts for its bots, since that was easiest from a maintenance perspective (no separate Jabber server to run). However, we are now running into rate-limi...
