Writing an irc bot is easy. For instance, the notifications about svn
commits are sent to irc bot by calling the bot script from svn
post-commit script. The bot script can send snippet of log message to
specified irc server/channel.

Right, you can monitor a page/rss and send notification to the irc
channel. As per email, you can if you have access to email server, or
keep monitoring the emails using a email client. Accordingly you can
send notifications to the irc channel.

Please refer to this link for a sample script that is hooked to svn
post-commit script for sending commit notifications to irc channel:

I'm sure you can write one similar, or tailor the above script to suit
your requirement. Thanks!
