A Marketing Chick Diary » IM/Chat http://blog.marketingchick.com Thoughts and observations as I work on my business and find new ideas to increase my profits... as well as the occasional off-topic ramblings by me, Carmen Sakurai, "The Marketing Chick."

For instance, I’m on AIM�, MSN�, ICQ�, Yahoo!� instant messaging, and instead of having each individual software open at the same time, I’ve downloaded Trillian Basic a FREE software that allows you to connect to all major chat networks using just one software.

That’s until I had the pleasure of chatting a bit with the infamous Michel Fortin a.k.a. The Success Doctor (the dude who wrote the 16 page web copy for Join Reese’s Traffic Secrets course), a few days ago, and he told me about Trillian Pro. Little did I know, my world of text-speak was about to take a turn in a whole new direction.

You won’t believe the huge collection of plugins available for this software! I mean, now, I use Trillian Pro for RSS feed updates, check incoming e-mail, maintain my todo list, easy access to my clients’ timezones, listen to my mp3 playlists, and get this… it even has a translator! If you type in Japanese, my messages to you would be translated into Japanese and your messages to me will be translated to English!

There’s lots more that I haven’t downloaded… like checking GMail, watching stocks, weather, IM from any web browser… oh, it supports IRC and Jabber too.

I’m still finishing up my InternetMarketingSupport.net membership site overhaul, so, I’ll look into more plugins when I have more time.

I thought the free version was DA BOMB, but, I totally love Trillian Pro! I’m seriously excited about this thing, and thanks to Michel, I’m one step closer to the “Geek Goddess” crown ;-)

She’s online 24/7 (from what I understand), so put her on your buddy list and feel free to chat with her every now and then.

She’s still quite stupid due to lack of “training”, but, ask her Internet marketing/sales related questions, and I’ll be sure to train her at least once a week.

Tia’s AIM username: TiaBot Chat

To chat with her, click on the “helpdesk” link at the bottom of all my sites.

You’ll find Tia on the right side of this page under the menu. She’s based on the chat robot technology at the A.L.I.C.E. AI Foundation.

Tia is fairly naive at the moment, but you’ll find the more you chat with her, the more she learns. So please have a conversation going with her to build her “brain”! Ask her questions you want answered, and I’ll see about adding the appropriate answers to her knowledge base.

If you find her a tad rude, please excuse her. I haven’t been able to adjust her personality as of yet.

I’ve also added an A.I. named “Kayla” to the IMSN members site, and since I had the chance to work on her knowledge a little bit, she knows a bit about marketing and earning money on the Internet!

How did I hear about this project? Ty Crim posted on a marketing forum about a virtual assistant he installed to his site. Of course being the gadget junkie that I am, I checked it out, got a kick out of it, and installed it to the IMSN members site, as well as here on my diary.

Enjoy your chat!
