Messenger bots have become popular over the past couple of years, and are a growing trend for most Messenger clients. Amit Agarwal over at Digital Inspiration knows a few things about them, and has created a tutorial on how to create your own Messenger bot:
This quick tutorial will show you how to develop your own functional IM bot that works with Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, Windows Live and all other popular instant messaging clients.
To get started, all you need to know are some very basic programming skills (any language would do) and web space to host your 'bot'.
For this example, I have created a dummy bot called 'labnol' that listens to your IM messages and return related search phrases based on Google Suggest. To see this live, add labnol@bot.im to your GTalk buddy list and start chatting.
