O.P. [RELEASED] MEWS: Messenger Web Services plugin
Finally, I'm releasing the first official version of Messenger Web Services, also known as MEWS. You might have already seen the official MEWS page at Msgweb.nl, or at this thread. Everything is explained very well at the official page, but I'll tell you what it's all about here shortly:

MEWS allows you to easily share information from the internet with your contacts. It uses little scripts, called 'parsers', to filter the information. There are various parsers to process different websites. For example, if you want to explain your friend the meaning of a word, there's a parser called 'dictionary'. This parser gets its information from dictionary.com. There are also parsers to for famous quotations, the latest news on cnn/neowin/mess, and even a parser to obtain songlyrics.

Here are two examples:

The 'dictionary' parser:

The 'quote' parser:

The amazing thing is everyone who knows how to script can make their own parsers! They're just vbscript/javascript files which can be only a few lines of code, due to the MEWS API! So if you're a scripter, check out the API Tutorial

Next to that, MEWS is multi-lingual. It currently has a English, Dutch, and French (thanks to 'Concord Dawn') language file included.

Btw, this is what the config screen looks like:

That's it for now! I hope you guys like this plugin, and will make your own parsers!

Download link, parser database, and the API Tutorial can be found at the official MEWS homepage.

Let me know whether everything works!
