Chat bots are a lot of fun. Google App Engine handles incoming instant messages just like other web requests, so developing a chat bot for App Engine is quite similar to developing any other webapp. For more info on App Engine's XMPP integration: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/xmpp/overview.html http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/xmpp/overview.h...

On a side note, if you are looking to develop a bot using a standard HTTP service hosted anywhere using any language (not just Python and Java) with a better domain name (@bot.im as compared to @appspot.com), you could try http://www.imified.com/ http://www.imified.com/ The good thing about appengine though is that everything is so well integrated that you don't really have to look to piecing together the parts.
