Mike Nimer's Blog - CF Event Gateways

Leon Oosterwijk just posted a new link on an older posting of mine, so I thought I would post it as it's own blog posting so it isn't missed.

Leon has started a new Open Source project for ColdFusion IM Gateways. Right now It has 3 IM gateways for ColdFusion; Yahoo, AOL, and MSN networks. I'm sure more will follow.

To help with this question, I wrote this article for CFDJ to do a little brainstorming about this new feature and what's possible with Event Gateways and ColdFusion 7. I also wanted to show that ColdFusion is no longer just a web application server instead it is now an internet application server.

Do you like this concept? Should I make "Brainstorming with nimer" a semi-regular column? Any ideas about what I should brainstorm about next time?

At the same time if you'd like to connect directly to these networks, the folks over at Zion Software have a CFMX7 IM Event Gateway that will connect directly to other networks.
