the whole idea of monitoring events with a bot is silly. Every program knows 
what it is doing and is capable of sending signals/notifications when an event 
happens. My django app tweets whenever a new report is added, my hg repository 
sends a mail whenever a change takes place, my mailserver sends me a mail 
whenever something happens ... let each application send a signal to the bot 
which the bot can publish. Publish over email, sms, twitter, irc and what have 
you - or maybe even ride the google wave.
