Have you heard of Annanova yet? Here's a quote:Imagine a virtual friend who can read every newspaper and web site, digest every TV and radio broadcast and filter it into a format that meets our individual needs and interests. This will be a personal assistant that no one will want to be without.
It would be really interesting if someone could come up with something like this which could read RSS news headlines or tell you what's new with editthispage.com or something.
I think a great start for a more "open" version of annanova would be at haptek's site. They have a very realistic human/non-human simulator which runs as a plugin, but can "speak" anything you send to it.
