Wiki bloggin' chatbot in action

screenshot of wiki-blogging chatbot in action

Above we see the blogbot entering a chatroom. Snoopdavey greets the bot and the bot, being quite professional and not sassy in the least, responds with "Unknown command." Next, snoopdavey instructs the bot to post a blog message titled "Hello World" with some content in JSPWiki format. Blogbot converts the content to HTML, posts it to a blog server, and responds with the new post ID. Next, snoopdavey decides to unblog the message he just blogged and the bot complies.

Pretty cool and all, but probably useful only to the terminally geeky.

Can your blogbot be turned on so that all further chatting until some point goes into a blog? I.e., a transcript?

Not currently, but blogbot is only about 140 lines of code and that's a pretty easy enhancement -- once the book's source code is available, of course.

Whoa. Cool...

I've met a few humans who might utter "unknown command" in reponse to a greeting - maybe the blogbot is close to passing the Turing test.
