Description

I think it is worth adding a camel-telegram component, to allow users integrating their apps with Telegram (https://telegram.org/).

Telegram is a popular messaging application (similar to WhatsApp), providing good security mechanisms and an open source communication protocol and APIs.
According to some statistics (https://telegram.org/blog/100-million), it has about 100 million active users worldwide (as of May 2016).

Telegram allows registering Bots (accounts operated by software) that can be ultimately used to let a Camel based application communicate with other Telegram users.

I have developed a first (working) draft of the camel component and I'm currently working on it to include tests and additional features.
