I don't think PEP is restricted to IM I guess, but it does require a roster/presence to make it work. In fact, I have done this by creating a web service that uses a bot to receive PEP events (location, etc) from users subscribed to the bot. If you had 1000 entities who wanted to get updates to your microblog, you would need 1000 entities subscribed to you in your roster in order for PEP to work. I have even a better example: I want to post your current location to a web page by subscribing to your geoloc pubsub node. Currently I would have no way to programmatically find out where your node is I believe.
