Heh, I guess I never removed it from my buddy list. He popped up a few min. ago. I guess now they're trying to make money off of it. $9.95 for 1 year to chat with him.

It's one of those bots that you can add to your AOL buddy list that'll "chat" with you and give you news and such. Somewhat nifty at the beginning, but gets boring after awhile, and should be interesting to see if it makes any money.

It was cool b/c you could ask it for weather and movie listings, but why would I pay for something I can get for free from countless places on the 'net?

Haha..i used to have the dumbest conversations with him/it. I'd curse him out and stuff...and he'd be all like "that wasn't nice...please say you're sorry". so funny.


I think the only people who'd pay to talk to him would be those w/ nobody else to talk to on aim. So sad if you think about it.

Anyone got $9.95 for me to borrow? Heehee. :p

That's gotta be even sadder than adding your own mobile # and SMSing yourself from your own AIM client.
Not..that.....I would...know...............
