Juzzi from Msgweb.nl posted on the forum about the latest competition from Microsoft for MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger:
Today, Microsoft launched a new competition: Robot Invaders. This is of course the follow-up to the ‘World’s Best App‘ competition. As you probably already figured, developers are now challenged to create exciting new ‘Bots’ for Messenger, instead of activities. From the official website:
Microsoft is challenging developers worldwide to create conversational robots, or BOTs, for MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger. The most original, useful robots collect $40,000 in total prizes.
So if you think you’re able to create a unique robot for Messenger, give it a shot and you might win a kick-ass $10.000 Alienware workstation!

I’d vote for Spleak! - check her out by adding spleak@hotmail.com to your MSN contacts list. She’s got a lot of personality in comparison to the other bots - and has loads of useful functions too. Weather, news and stuff.
