They should run the bot on their own server, (now that s2s is
enabled).  That way they can scale the roster to thousands of users.

They could also make it extend to 1-234-456-7890 at mr.jabphone.com! now
how cool would that be - one contact per phone number (and you can
rename it to how you want)

had to happen eventually :-) I'm glad these guys are treating this as
a money making possiblity! Just goes to show that xmpp is starting to
be accepted comercially.
