When we add new features to Blog-City we monitor it closely to see how people use it and move around it.  That way we can tune it and make changes.  One of the recent surprises that caught me off guard in terms of its popularity was the AIM bot I developed to allow people to blog straight to their site via AIM.

It works by added our bot to your buddy list and everytime you feel the need to blog just double click on him and type away.  It is that easy.  You pre-register your handle with your blog site that way there is no complicated authentication process to go through and the command set is very small.  Again, to keep it easy.

Credit to a one Jason Bell, for pointing me in the direction of the AIM library and helping me test it when it was going through its beta phase.  Thanks man.
