Google Hacks: Google Over IM
Overview Instant messaging is no longer solely the domain of teenagers with too much spare time on their hands. IM has morphed from a fun toy to a serious productivity tool. Google offers its own IM client called Google Talk. Thanks to the Google Talk and the Google API, one can skip the web site and bring Google Search results directly into the IM client with a Google Talk bot. A bot is simply a program that looks like an IM chat buddy (someone who receives and sends messages). Behind the scenes, though, the bot simply does what it's programmed to do. With a Google Talk bot up and running, one can find search results without leaving the IM client, which sounds very productive.
