Because Google Talk has openend up to any jabber server online, I decided to start running my own chatbot! It's a kind of speed dating thing, online.
First you add the chatbot to your roster, simply invite: next@logfish.net
Secondly, you will be accapted by the bot. Then you can start chatting to it. As soon as you say something, that first sentence will be sent to sombody else online OR be put in the queue for when somebody else start talking to the bot.
As soon as two people talk to the bot, an anonymous connection is set up. You can then talk to each other. Last, but not least, you may want to stop talking to somebody. If you want that, simply type "next" and you will be done. You can then talk to the next person by saying something, or stop chatting all together.
