IM Street is the latest addition to AOL Instant Messenger chatterbots. Similar to the invasion of new bots, IM Street now was added in automatically to users’ buddy lists worldwide.
While it doesn’t have a personality like some of the other prominent bots such as Smarterchild and Spleak, it is a great resource. If you simply type in a stock ticker name, it will send you back the current stock price. This could be very handy in a pinch on a mobile device!
