Recently AOL decided to add two bots to AIM — Moviefone and ShoppingBuddy — irritating some users. AOL’s attitude seems to be that they can easily be deleted, but some netizens viewed this as intrusion.

EveryTomorrow describes a humorous exchange with the bots.
Joshua Stilwell writes: “AOL claims that the feedback on the bots have been mixed… I can just imagine 90% say its stupid, 8% say its not a bad idea, and 2% like it… I think AOL would call that mixed…” ilia Alshanetsky wonders what’s next?

I didn’t see even one person the past few days say they actually appreciated or liked these two bots being auto-added, but I’m sure there is some AIM fans out there who were digging the convenience.

Somebody please buy AOL and fire whoever is making stupid moves like this over there.

Did this post make you go hmm?
