We will devote Today's release of "Guide" to the review of the Russian-speaking services working under report ICQ and giving on demand of the user the various information of help and entertaining character. Usually such services call ICQ-robots (or even it is simple "boats"). For work with them it is enough to add number fixed to them in contact-sheet messenger and to remember the list of accessible operating commands.

It is not excluded, that many users frightened of not authorised spam sending in network ICQ, will prefer not to contact information boats, and these fears are quite defensible. The paranoiac it is recommended to take advantage of small cunning - to register new account ICQ and to use it in parallel with the core, but only for on-line services. If fears appear proved, number "infected" with a spam can be removed ruthlessly. About all subtleties of simultaneous work with several "as'ka" (ICQ) on an example of Internet pager Miranda you can read in to this to note RTFM.

And now we will pass directly to the promised review.

Information Bot

The Project with the speaking name Information Bot represents some the independent ICQ-boats united in one complex decision. For the blessing of the network public three robots work at once:

• [I-Bot] Informer, giving to the remote user the information of the most different character: news, weather forecast, the program of telecasts, exchange rates, a horoscope, an exact times, the schedule of trains and so forth Besides it, the boat is able to carry out functions of the on-line calculator, to be engaged in code conversion of the text from one format in another, to take data about domains and even to carry out the analysis of sites about them popolarity on the Internet. To communicate to the robot, it is necessary to add in contact-sheet of any of three numbers 660668, 600574 or 7408888.
• a boat-translator [I-Bot] Translate, supporting at the moment of the publication of the given material six languages: Russian, English, French, German, Latvian and Ukrainian. To broadcasting from one language on another give in both separate words, and the whole offers. While translating from Russian on English (or on the contrary) system defines automatically by the first word in the text, in other cases it it is necessary to specify a translation direction independently. The pool is fixed to this boat from three numbers ICQ - 533090, 500342 and 6404444.
• the entertaining boat [I-Bot] Anekdot, telling the jokes, which total passes for 60 thousand and more. All histories stand out service in a casual order or on in advance set identifier if it will want to read the liked joke repeatedly. To a ridiculous boat (differently you will not tell) by developers it is allocated at once already five numbers - 5005755, 5005557, 5005558, 4111553 and 4111554. Probably, it is popular at users.

In total service Information Bot distinguishes an order of 60 commands or, in other words, the keywords which sending forces to carry out robots those or other instructions. To receive their full list, it is necessary to feed to any of boats a command! help or shorter instruction/h.

At work with Information Bot it is necessary to consider, that boats accept only one message with a five-second interval. Otherwise the system does not stand on ceremony and brings the user in the "black" list as probable sender of spam. The command is intended for blocking removal! unlock with a code specified in the text of the message from the robot.

Gismeteo. ICQ

Gismeteo. ICQ - the service working within the limits of meteorological project Gismeteo.ru, forecasting the weather for days forward in any large city of Russia and abroad. To be connected to it it is simple. It is necessary to add in contact sheet of an Internet pager number 474974 and to send to the robot a five-place code of a city in a message body. In the answer it will send the freshest information on weather in interesting settlement for days forward.

To be defined with an index of the occupied list it is possible, having taken advantage it the list or having sent to an ICQ-boat first two letters of the name of a city. In the latter case the service will display satisfying to criterion of search the list of cities with the codes fixed to them. For reception of the inquiry on service work it is necessary to send to the robot the message consisting of a sign "?" Or "h". If the electronic interlocutor is silent as the guerrilla, that, possibly, because of an error in a set the boat could not distinguish the command sent to it. It is necessary to check up its correctness and to repeat inquiry.

GoTalk

One more an ICQ-boat from the category of universal developers from command System Core Solutions. Its possibilities in comparison with Information Bot, to put it mildly, poor also are limited to demonstration of a various sort of the information (the exchange rate list for current day, exact Moscow time, weather forecast, jokes, aphorisms and proverbs) yes in pair service mechanisms for a translation of words and editing of reminders. To hope for potential of the translator it is not necessary: it works only in two directions - from Russian on English and on the contrary is able to finish only with single words. The translation direction is defined by system automatically.

By default GoTalk works in a mode of the translator, for use of other functions it is necessary to use operating commands. Their only 12 pieces, therefore to get confused it is impossible. Each command can have some the basic arguments or contain the multilower case text which had on second and subsequent lines of the input. To receive the list of commands of a boat, it is enough to send it the short instruction/h.

It is important to remember, that the ICQ-robot does not correct input and does not answer erroneous commands. Also the boat does not need to write very often. If since time of the answer for the previous inquiry has passed less than three seconds, the subsequent inquiry will not be processed and remains without the answer. At last, to be connected to system, it is necessary to specify on a project site the ICQ and to receive robot number. At attempt to use another's number ICQ, the boat will give out the prevention and will specify true UIN. It is one more way of reception of correct number of robot GoTalk.

Seo Bot

Seo Bot - exclusively useful robot for the web masters who are engaged in optimisation of sites and "advancement" of the resources in search systems. On-zamorski similar activity on the Internet is called search engine optimisation (SEO). From here also there was a boat name.

Service allows, not falling outside the limits the ICQ-client to define an index of citing of the specified site, its authoritativeness (Pagerank) in search system Google, quantity of the pages presented on an Internet resource, its presence at the catalogue of "Yandex" and many other things. The robot is able to calculate presumable cost of the text references placed on the main page of the analyzed resource, and even to watch changes in search systems. As well as in a case with the services listed above, all work with Seo Bot is under construction on use of the command instructions which full list stands out the robot by standard inquiry! help.

Seo Bot, certainly, it is good, however quite often stays in the disconnected condition. On to messages the developer of the program similar incidents, really, take place to be and in most cases have technical character. Speaking easier if user ICQ behind number 1033535 (it also there is a boat) is in mode Offline, means, preventive works are conducted and it is necessary to wait a little.
