This post is a reblog of “7 Useful Google Talk Bots That You Must Add as Friends<\/a>“, written by Amit Agarwal<\/a>. It has been edited for use on this blog.<\/em><\/p>\n

You can do lot of interesting stuff with Google Talk like get alert notifications, save bookmarks to delicious, manage web calendars, set reminders, write blogs, and so much more.<\/p>\n

Such features can be easily integrated into Google Talk through \u2018bots\u2019 which, in simple English, are like virtual friends who are online 24\u00d77 and will always respond with a smile to your questions or requests.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the most useful \u2018bots\u2019 that transform Google Talk into a more useful program:<\/p>\n

\"feeds\" 1. imfeeds@gmail.com \u2013 Add this IM Feeds bot as your Google Talk buddy and you\u2019ll be able to read any blog or website<\/strong> that syndicates content via RSS feeds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\/\/<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To subscribe to a website in GTalk, simply send a new IM message that says \u201csub abc.com\u201d where abc.com is the address of the website \/ blog you want to read inside Google Talk.<\/p>\n

\"friendfeed\"2. friendfeed@imified.com \u2013 This secret bot lets you post to FriendFeed<\/a> from Google Talk. You may submit either hyperlinks or text messages.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. imified@imified.com \u2013 This imified bot<\/a> turns Google Talk into a real powerhouse<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"imified\"You can post bookmarks to delicious, send messages to Twitter, submit blog entries<\/a> to WordPress, Tumblr or Blogger, manage events in Google Calendar, shorten long URLs, run whois<\/a> and so on.<\/p>\n

    \"anothr\" 4. inezhabot@gmail.com \u2013 Like IM Feeds, iNezha<\/a> bot helps you read feeds inside Google Talk but this is slightly more versatile. For instance, you can simply say \u201cdigg\u201d and it will show a list of all feeds that match that search term so you don\u2019t have to type (or copy-paste) feed addresses.<\/p>\n

    \"translation\" 5. Translation<\/a> \u2013 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.com for Hindi to English or en2hi@bot.talk.google.com for English to Hindi) as your buddy, send him a message and it will get translated instantly.<\/p>\n

    \"alarm\" 6. Set Task Reminders<\/a> \u2013 If you need to remember something important, Google Talk can send you reminders<\/strong> for that event.<\/p>\n

    Just add timer<\/a> to your Twitter friend\u2019s 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 \u201cd timer 50 pick kids from school\u201d and a reminder will automatically pop up in your Google Talk after 50 minutes.<\/p>\n

    \"\"7. Transliteration \u2013 If you want to chat in your mother tongue (like Hindi or Tamil) but feel more comfortable using the English keyboard<\/strong>, Google Transliteration bot will come in handy.<\/p>\n

    For instance, add en2hi.translit@bot.talk.google.com to you friend\u2019s list in GTalk and all messages you type in English will get transliterated in the language of your choice. Available only for a few Indian languages.<\/p>\n

    –END REBLOG–<\/p>\n

    A few of my own suggestions:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. bots@gtalkbots.com – You can share your status with the world (like Twitter). Also, with games@gtalkbots.com, you can play games!<\/li>\n
    2. ping.fm – This is a website that supports posting to multiple blogging and status update sites, including Twitter, GTalk, WordPress, Blogger, etc. If you have Jabber\/GTalk, add pingbot@bots.ping.fm as a friend and follow the instructions as printed on here.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
