Useful Google Talk Bots That You Must Add as Friend
Here are the eleven most useful bots that transform Google Talk into a more useful program:
feeds
1. imfeeds@gmail.com- Add this IM Feeds bot as your Google Talk buddy and you will be able to read any blog or website that syndicates content via RSS feeds.
To subscribe to a website in GTalk, simply send a new IM message that says ub tricksreview.blogspot.com where you can put any other site which you want to read inside Google Talk.
2. friendfeed@bot.im - This secret bot lets you post to FriendFeed from Google Talk. You may submit either hyperlinks or text messages.
3. imified@imified.com- This imified bot turns Google Talk into a real powerhouse. It means that you can do a lot more this way.
You can post bookmarks to delicious, send messages to Twitter, submit blog entries to WordPress, Tumblr or Blogger, manage events in Google Calendar, shorten long URLs, run whois and so on.
4. inezhabot@gmail.com- Like IM Feeds, iNezha bot helps you read feeds inside Google Talk but this is slightly more versatile. For instance, you can simply say digg and it will show a list of all feeds that match that search term so you don't have to type (or copy-paste) feed addresses.
5. Translation - This is a free service from Google that helps you translate words from a foreign language into your native language. Just add the relevant bot (e.g. hi2en@bot.talk.google.comfor Hindi to English or en2hi@bot.talk.google.comfor English to Hindi) as your buddy, send him a message and it will get translated instantly.
6. Use Google Talk with Twitter - Invite twitter@twitter.comto become your friend in Google Talk and verify your account. Now whenever you IM this new friend, the message will automatically publish on your twitter account.
7. Set Task Reminders - If you need to remember something important, Google Talk can send you reminders for that event.
Just add timer to your Twitter friend list and then add twitter@twitter.com to your buddy list in Gtalk. Now if you want to get a reminder after 50 minutes, send a direct message to twitter like timer 50 pick kids from school and a reminder will automatically pop up in your Google Talk after 50 minutes.
8. Transliteration - If you want tochat in your mother tongue (like Hindi or Tamil) but feel more comfortable using the English keyboard, Google Transliteration bot will come in handy.
9. Xpenser - With xpenser, you can record travel expenses via email, SMS or even Google talk. Add xpenserbot@gmail.com as your buddy and send a message like lunch 33.2 with Bill Gates and that will be added as an expense to your online spreadsheet that can be accessed from anywhere.
10. Ping.fm - Like Imified, ping.fm is one of the most usefulGoogle bots out there especially if you are a social networking or micro-blogging addict.
Add pingdotfm@gmail.com to Gtalk and you can communicate with twitter, jaiku, wordpress, identi.ca, facebook, myspace, bebo, friendfeed, linkedin, tumblr, plaxo, friendster, delicious and more.
11. Meshly - Add meshly@gmail.com as your friend and you'll be able to post web link to your Meshly account via Google Talk. You can also addtags, categories and description to your hyperlink via Gtalk itself.[IMG][/IMG]post edited by- manasaz
