Using telegraph you can import RSS or Atom information from other systems into your Basecamp account.

We're a small web development company and we use Basecamp as an integral part of our development process. To integrate content from other systems into Basecamp we've built telegraph:
telegraph is a web application which handles RSS and Atom feed subscriptions for Basecamp projects. Feeds are checked on a regular basis and new entries are automatically posted as messages when they appear in the feed.
Examples of items you might want to import:
- Updates to your source control system from Unfuddle or your Trac installation
- New bugs registered in your bug tracking system such as Porchlight or FogBugz
- Buzz about your project from the blogosphere using Technorati or Google Blog Search
- Relevant links from del.icio.us
- Any content you assemble using Yahoo Pipes or Dapper
Very cool. If you come up with a neat use for telegraph, let us know.
