If you thought bots on MSN Messenger were fading away, think again. Bots for Encarta (encarta@conversagent.com), a MSN Gift Guide (msngiftguide@hotmail.com) and Amazon (chat@insidemessenger.com) have started appearing. Even SmarterChild (smarterchild@hotmail.com) is still alive, I thought it vanished many moons ago!
Now that MSN is taking bots seriously and authorizing them, quite a lot have popped up recently. Here is a list thanks to RTC News:
- encarta@conversagent.com – A BOT that uses the Microsoft Encarta database to answer your questions and uses the activity window to provided you with more detailed rich content on the subject.
- smarterchild@hotmail.com – A classic and very comprehensive chat BOT.
- espbilly@msn.com – A quirky BOT that shows you videos, perhaps you’ll see your future?
- yellowpagesdemo@hotmail.com – Yellow pages in IM. Find what you’re looking for near you.
- msngiftguide@hotmail.com – Find the perfect holiday gift for that someone special.
- blabla@chatman.nl – A Dutch chat BOT.
- ibuddy077@lineage.co.kr – A BOT that talks about the Lineage game and has an interactive Activity.
- indeedjobs@hotmail.com – Find that job that you’ve been looking for.
- mindy@botmetro.net – A very good natural language chat BOT
- chat@insidemessenger.com – Shop online with Amazon
