AOL launches program for AIM bots

InfoWorld: AOL launches program for AIM bots: : "Robot operators agree not to distribute users' screen names and pledge to only use the robots for their stated purpose, so that AIM users don't face the type of spam nuisance affecting e-mail, Curry said.
'That's a point of great sensitivity for us,' he said, adding that AOL monitors closely the use of robots to ensure that the experience remains a positive one for users."

Good call. I've been talking to AOL about trying to get the SDBA framework officially authorized, but the open source nature of it is a tough hurdle to cross. It just may work out though.

MSN is a bit behind the curve on this one. Last time I spoke to them, they were solely focused on IM bots for the Enterprise, with no interest in the consumer space.
