Don on the Wired blogs has a bit about free DIY bot creation “Microsoft and Conversagent are giving away free licenses for their BuddyScript SDK for MSN Messenger. Now developers can build their own IM bots for MSN Messenger at no charge. The free license period lasts “at least six months,” but the company will extend the licenses beyond the initial six month term for developers who create a groundbreaking bot.” [via] Link. The MAKEbot, is an AIM bot and can be found here. 2006, year of the bots.

Yawn … how boring.
I can do the same with Adium on OS X, and GAIM on Linux or Windows, and not only a MSN Messenger bot, but an AIM bot, a GoogleTalk bot, a Gadu-Gadu bot, ICQ bot. May I go on?
Plus I won’t have to worry about MS and Conversagents taking away the “free” license after six months. How lame is that?
Or you could just write one from scratch. That works too.
