My little bot stuff isn't fancy and definitely not so called  
production code. It's a mess but if someone wants to look at it, you  
can download tar package (which probably includes unnecessary files  
too) from:
http://5w.fi/~kyber/fb-bot/fb-bot.tar

The bot is modified from bitchbot (bitch.pl). You must create a  
profile in the Facebook through which the bot posts stuff to facebook.  
In Facebook you have to add an application to group. If I remember  
correct the app was fbcmd. There's some other stuff (settings and  
other) that needs to be done before the FBCMD api can post to group  
page. You should take a look at:

A little details about FB related stuff of the bot code is here:

Sorry about the comments in the (mess)code that they are in Finnish.
