Bot 2.0

There are many IM-bots in the market(or internet sphere) already. The robot concept for IM is now wide-adopted by end users. However, seems there are no real breakthrough in this field for years except the "virtual dialog" function. To end users, after lines of conversations with the "virtual people", they will realize its boring to talk with a Bot with nosense topics(though the Bot always try to provide a "menu" for jokes collections same to all users and Astrology information to tout users).

So there is Bot 2.0. It's not so 'intelligent' as boasted as Bot 1.0. However, it can be more personalized to suite for individual context since there are more and more productions and information created by end users themselves. There are longtail requirements and any Bot 1.0 can't satisfy the longtail needs from end users. The biggest advantages of Bot 2.0 is to provide a platform to connect diversified information sources and pipeline. So Anothr.com's RSS subscription is a 2.0 experiment, but not enough. The 2.0 curtain just been opened, now to Bot world.
