Molu launches two new bots

Molu is proud to launch two new GTalk/Jabber bots today. The bots are known as:

 

1. Molu Abbreviations Bot: This bot will be used to search for full forms of abbreviations. So in case you type ROFL in your GTalk/Jabber window, you should get all the possible full forms of the abbreviation. Add moluabbr@bot.im to use the service. The service uses Abbreviations.com API and is meant for non commercial use only.

 

2. Molu Short to Long URL Converter Bot: Many a times we encounter short URLs passed on to us for viewing. We are not sure what lies behind them. May be a spam website is waiting behind the URL. To help in this area, Molu has launched a short -> Long URL conversion bot. The input can be a short URL (with hundreds of short URL services supported) and the output will be the corresponding URL for the short one. Add molus2l@bot.im to use the service. The service uses Longurl.com API and is meant for non-commercial use only.

 

Last but not the least, thanks Imified for the excellent platform.

 

Have a great year ahead.

Molu launches a new GTalk/Jabber bot

I am pleased to announce tha launch of new GTalk/Jabber bot by the Molu. It is called moluqanda@bot.im

Just add it to your GTalk/Jabber friendlist and send any question to it. It should return an answer to it. The questions may be easy to moderately complex.

Example questions may be:
1. Why is the sky blue?
2. Which is the longest river?
3. Who was the president of USA in 1952?
or anything you may think of.

It can also answer ‘Yes’/'No’ type of questions. Examples may be:
1. Is Bill Clinton married?
2. Is Abraham Lincoln alive?
3. Is Kathmandu in Japan?
or anything you may think of.

Request you all to please try it and give me the feedback. If you like it, request you to please pass the word to as many people as possible.

Thanks for your help.
