Hi Justin, Not at that scale, but I have my small cute XMPP bot crowd which is controllable via IM and does some small tasks, like controlling the homemade public transport departure LCD or being a general purpose MUC bot.
It seems just natural to me to use XMPP for that purpose, however, I'm a bit cautious with just accepting the XMPP servers authentication. I know that I'm pretty safe when I'm doing that between my own servers running on the same machine, but from outwards I could easily be MITM'd. Still, the authentication aspect is really the one which I'm doing even such small tasks using XMPP bots, because I don't have to worry about the complex details of setting up a trusted connection, checking passwords etc.. I just fire up my IM client, open a conversation with the bot and I'm done. In another project, we thought about using XMPP for a website commenting service. We didn't come to a coherent design though, mainly as one has to consider that not everyone has s2s-capable XMPP (which would require an HTTP alternative) and that most XMPP clients are not made to create longer comments.
