Log4Twitter is very similar to an idea Herbert an me had a couple of years ago, to use a Jabber messaging framework to get distributed logging and alerts from several servers/applications.

about 3 years ago - 2 comments
Another entry in my virtual “braindump” category, so I don’t have to look it up somewhere else all the time.
