Encarta bot in Windows Live Messenger

[Erskine]

Full discussion of Windows Live Messenger, the instant messaging software offered by Microsoft, one of your contacts you about a city that is totally unknown to you or asks you a question you do not know of any answer. Why not save the question and you grow by using a wildcard that is available. The wild card in question is Encarta bot, Encarta is to recall the encyclopedia published by Microsoft.

1. Launch Windows Live Messenger software by clicking the icon on the desktop or via the Start menu. Having expanded the window to reveal the menu bar, then scroll down "Contacts" and select "Add Contact ...".
   
   
2. In the window that appears, enter the contact name "Encarta@conversagent.com" and click "Add a contact".
   
   
3. Open a conversation window with the bot Encarta and start asking questions.
   
   
4. After answering the question, the bot has run the Encarta encyclopedia on the right side of the conversation window to obtain more information. You can accept or not, then continue to ask questions or end the discussion.

That's interesting,

I like msn bots, some are really useful, as mentioned one above. I used to use MovieScout , The bot's address is MovieScout@botmetro.net, just add it to your buddy list and start a conversation with it. As soon as you start the dialog it ask your zip code and then it will show a menu where you can find show times and movies.
