After just four days of being online, IMified’s Windows Live Messenger bot reached service limits, preventing new users from adding it and seeing its online presence. A week later they were turned down for requests to remove the limit for the service so the bot remained in a problematic state.
The latest blog entry states the issue with Microsoft is still up in the air, but it appears Microsoft isn’t so evil after all, listens to customers, and opened the bot up.
imified@imified.com is currently responding normally and appearing online for new users, the address on the homepage is also no longer striked out, so hopefully this will be the last this bots problems for a while.
IMified is a new service that allows you to access various Web applications via your instant messaging client though a special bot.
Online services it currently supports include:
- 30Boxes

- Salesforce
- TypePad

Add imified@imified.com and send it a message to get started.
As my first experience with this service, I’m currently typing out this post into Windows Live Messenger - all I had to do was enter my Wordpress login details at the IMified site and it was setup for posting.
How it went: Two problems - firstly, I didn’t have enough space in the IM window edit box for the whole post, so I had to come to the site and paste the rest. Second, it stripped the hyper link to the site at the start of the post.
ElectroSoft, the creator of the Web based polygamy patcher and MSN Agent Detector, has released a new Java applet called DPMagnifier.
DPMagnifier is a tool that lets you add effects to display pictures. Simply choose an existing display picture and select some effects. Once you’re happy with the preview image, you can save the new “magnified” image and set it as your display picture in messenger.
The effects you can currently apply are:
- Black n White
- Sepia
- Invert Colors
- Light Focus
- Strikes Tool
- Smooth Border
- Glass Screen Effect
- Text Effect
The project is still fairly new, so I’m sure we will see some other effect capabilities on the future! Give it a try at the MAD project site or see the forum post.
MSN Messenger Polygamy by ElectroSoft is a new tool which patches almost any version of MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger.
Unlike other patches, this one does it from within your browser in one click without having to download a patcher or application. This is because it is a Java applet, so the Java Runtime Environment is required.
I received an announcement that Conversagent has changed its name:
Conversagent has changed its name to Colloquis (pronounced “cull oh’ kwis,” derives from the Latin word “colloquium,” meaning conversation). Click here to read more about the announcement.
The new home has been changed as well to buddyscript.colloquis.com and there is a new version of the SDK available in the downloads section.
