At Soup we use Jabber in a similar way: A group chatroom that everyone hangs out in, and a bot (based on Whistle: http://whistle.rubyforge.org ) that notifies us of GetSatisfaction requests, emails, commits & deploys and user signups (in batches, to not be too spammy).

same at my company... we just use xmpp4r and a git post-commit hook.

It also sends quotes from the quoteboard to our chat at 10, 12, and 2 :)

Thanks for the link to Whistle, just set it up for us here at Decorati and it's working out great.
