The Daily Chump Bot is an IRC bot which allows you to create a collaborative weblog from IRC chat. Using it is easy: just cut and paste a URL into the channel and then add comments using a simple label.

<ircuser> http://xmlhack.com/ -dc- A: http://xmlhack.com/ from ircuser <ircuser> A:|An excellent XML site -dc- titled item A <ircuser> A:Daily news for XML developers -dc- commented item A
The Chump produces an XML file per day. Some suitable server side magic might style that XML into something like this:
