To extend the idea, why not investing some more time writing an Open Source "Twitter ResourceAdapter" or "Skype ResourceAdaptater"? I think there will be more people than you rating that a useful component. If you need a template on how to write ResourceAdpaters, check my projects "FileRA" and "MailRA" on SourceForge: While the first one is using outbounds (which is what you need), the second one is using WorkManagers (AFAIK -- it's too long ago since I wrote it). :-)
