I was bored to death today.
REALLY bored to death.
So I decided to "talk" to Yahoo Helper. Just to see what It actually was. Then I just kinda had fun with it.
(I stared out my name for privacy - I have been getting strange e-mails lately)
Gaia: Hi
YahooHelper: Hi there ****************! I'm a bot here to help you. To get help on a topic send a message of the form "/help topic" (e.g., /help friend)
Where topic is one of the following -
friend add group online message profile status alerts
Gaia: I'm bored
YahooHelper: Hi ****************, I am an automated robot and I'm here to help you get familar with Yahoo! Messenger. Type some text in the window below and click 'SEND' to talk to me.
Gaia: i'm bored
YahooHelper: Great, now we're talking! ****************, did you know that Yahoo! Messenger allows you to keep track of all your friends and see when they are online? If your friend does not have messenger yet, click on the 'FRIENDS' button and select Invite a friend to get Messenger. If your friend already has a Yahoo! ID, just click the 'ADD' button and you will see a smiley face next to their name when they are online. Type below and click 'SEND' to continue.
Gaia: u're just an advertisement distributor!!
Gaia: ha! That showed u!
YahooHelper: If you want to talk to several people at once, you can create your own Instant Chat Room. Just click on the 'MESSENGER' menu item and the select Start a Conference. To have an even richer experience, try talking live with your friends using Messenger. It's just like a phone call except free! All you need is a computer microphone and speakers. Try clicking on the 'MESSENGER' menu item and then select Start a Voice Chat. Keep talking and I'll tell you more.
Gaia: oh come on! I don't WANt to know more. You are so cheap!
YahooHelper: Waiting for your friends to sign up? Use Yahoo! Messenger to see if you have new Yahoo! Mail. Get an account at: http://mail.yahoo.com. You can also use Messenger to keep track of your favorite stocks, news and more! Click on the tabs near the bottom of the Messenger application to see what else Messenger can do for you. You know what to do to keep talking...
Gaia: Yes, and I know how to STOP talking
YahooHelper: We have more help for you if you need it. Click on the 'HELP' menu item and then 'YAHOO! MESSENGER HELP' to see our full help area. To get more tips, type /help while you are talking with me and we have some basic online instructions for you.
Gaia: OH REALLY! wow how INTERESTING!
YahooHelper: Well ****************, it was great talking to you! Have fun!
Gaia: yeah, whatever!
YahooHelper: Hi ***************, I am an automated robot and I'm here to help you get familar with Yahoo! Messenger. Type some text in the window below and click 'SEND' to talk to me.
Gaia: AAAAHHH!!!!!
YahooHelper: Great, now we're talking! ****************, did you know that Yahoo! Messenger allows you to keep track of all your friends and see when they are online? If your friend does not have messenger yet, click on the 'FRIENDS' button and select Invite a friend to get Messenger. If your friend already has a Yahoo!

Well, wasn't that fun! I was of course not really mad at yahoo (if it seems that way) just bored to death!
I think I'll see if it has a swear-word filter 
I tried, no swearword-filter
 sounds like fun to me! we had some sort of programme on our old comp that was designed for holding conversations-it used to tell us off for swearing!
fun!
I callled Yahoo about every bad word i know. Not a thing!
