Telepost is a simple gateway to Telegram, which can post messages and respond to primitive requests.

First, install it:

```bash
$ gem install telepost
```

Then, use it like this:

```ruby
require 'telepost'
require 'logger'
tp = Telepost.new('..token..')
Thread.start do
  tp.run do |chat, msg|
    tp.post(chat: chat, 'Thanks for talking to me!')
  end
end
tp.post(chat: 12345, 'How are you?', 'How are you doing?')
```

That's it.
