Movies Bot and Bots website

movies@xmppguru.appspotchat.com

If sometimes you are at a video rent store, or in a torrent site searching for something to watch, and you often run out of convict opinion this is your Bot. Just send a message containing the name of the movie, and it will reply with a recommendation. 

I'm sure the Movies Bot can save you some money and time regarding "trash" movies, which by the way are big majority nowadays specially in Hollywood.

Of course you won't always agree about the opinion, but I'm pretty sure it will give you wise and precise alerts before renting/downloading really BAD movies!

Just give it a try and let us know the reliability of the answers.

NEWS!!!

Now you can follow the xmppguru and its extensions, go to http://xmppguru.appspot.com and check out in realtime latest questions and answers from other users.

quotes@xmppguru.appspotchat.com - a Self-Help Bot (or Not)

quotes@xmppguru.appspotchat.com

Yet Another XMPP Bot! This time it is meant for nice quotes that should increase your "anymus" at work, in a boring day or in both at the same time as usual. After checking that more than 25% of all messages to xmppguru@appspot.com where about personal problems and assistance requests, I decided to build something to help those poor XMPP users.
So basically the recommended usage is:

1. Swear to the Bot! Use bad words freely. He always understand you... (This is a MUST, if you don't say anything he won't help you)
2. Get a nice quote back that eventually will help you with motivation or pushes.

You can use the xmppguru extension by simple adding it to your GTalk's / Jabber Contacts: quotes@xmppguru.appspotchat.com

Examples of general usage
To receive a quote, simple express your feeling.

Chat Message: I hate this rainy day!!! Screw it!
quotes@xmppguru.appspot.com: "Sometimes water is better than snow..." - Someone from somewhere

Chat Message: what the f*** you are not helping shi*** bot!
zaptin@xmppguru.appspot.com: "" - "Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress." - Gandhi

It is not scientifically proved, but it might help. At least, in the worst case, will be an always online friend that is always willing to hear your complains. Always there in your roster.

URL Shortener XMPP Bot

zaptin@xmppguru.appspotchat.com

XMPP Provides easy and clean ways to build XMPP Bots, as I showed on the previous post, we can use Google AppEngine to create 24h online, zero-maintenance Bots. Yes, I don't need to host this. Google is doing the job for now, for free, let it be.

You can use the xmppguru extension to Short URL simply add it to your GTalk's / Jabber Contacts: zaptin@xmppguru.appspotchat.com

Examples of general usage
To request a Short Version of your URL just send a message containing the URL.

Chat Message: http://pixagle.appspot.com
zaptin@xmppguru.appspot.com: http://zapt.in/D5 -> http://pixagle.appspot.com

Chat Message: xmppjingle.org
zaptin@xmppguru.appspot.com: http://zapt.in/D1 -> http://xmppjingle.org

This is quite handy, avoiding all the hassle to visit one of the other URL Shorteners just to have a smaller URL.
