Gtalkbots.com - Changing the way we use our chat messengers

How it all started?
It all started one fine evening when I and my friend Sowmya were recalling the good old days at our IITG campus. We were just wondering how beautiful those days were and at the same time we were repenting that we didn't have enough moments captured on our digicam.

Then Sowmya just poked in with an idea, why not have something which can save her and all her friends status messages. Those status messages, which generally reflect one's day to day activity, mood, schedule, message, quote, funda, bakarz, fun, joke and what not.

Create a timeline of your and your friends by saving status messages
In next few days I came up with a demo chat bot abhinav.bot@gmail.com (not functional now) which could track all mine and my friends status messages. Cool, it really worked like a charm. Then we thought why not make something which everyone can use and hence we came up with http://gtalkbots.com on 15th September, 2008. Now everyone can save their friends status messages just by adding bots@gtalkbots.com to their gtalk friends list.

Don't have a pen at work, no worries. You have Gtalkbots now
In a few days after release, we extended Gtalkbots, from just a status saving service to an online diary and personal notes saving service too. This allows one to save his/her daily important notes just by messaging them to bots@gtalkbots.com. I am lazy and after college I seldom have a pen in my pocket or bag. And then when I had to save some notes at the office, I really had no way to write them down. But with this service, I can save and access them from anywhere and anytime just by messaging my note to bots@gtalkbots.com

In future we look to extend Gtalkbots.com in a way which will change the way we all use our chat messengers.
