Yahoo IM Messenger Plugin

Main Objective: Maintain a brief conversation with people who send me an instant message. Protocols: Support any or all of the following protocols - MSN messenger, yahoo IM, ICQ Critical Specs: [these MUST be supported] * auto-add people who contact me * configurable time-delay between response * define X number of preset responses; for example, I can specify 1 response, 2 responses, etc and configure each response. If I specify 1 response, then this would happen: [user] says: "hi" I say: "hello" [user] says: "whats up?" and here the conversation ends, I send no more replies. Whereas if I had specified "2" responses, the conversation would look like: [user] says: "hi" I say: "hello" [user] says: "whats up?" I say: "the sky" * filter incoming message for keywords and send reply based on keyword * user macros for randomization: I can define macros in my preset responses. For example, response #1 may look like this: ~hello~ ~howareyou~ and then I would define the following macros for those terms: ~hello~ [hi, hello, hey, heya] ~howareyou~ [how are you, hows it going, whats up?] This increases randomaization of each message * send message to all users on my contact list * must be robustness enough to handle 500-1000 incoming "friend requests" per hour and 1000-5000 outgoing messages per hour ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
