Sharing Bot Data

I'm not sure how this could be put into play, but it'd be very cool to have a bot template that can communicate with it's own kind, to share data for the other to store. The bot that recieved the information could, in a conversation say something like...

"Hey, have you met my friend, SCREENNAME_OF_OTHER_BOT? The last time I asked, he had spoken to 1294 people! That bot is all about (a description that the bot gave when they linked up:) telling funny jokes and riddles! You should talk to him!"

... Hehe. I don't know how you'd get the bots to link up on their own... Just thought that it could be a fun idea.

Actually, I like the idea of bots talking to each other, to share resources.

Say my bot has a good dictionary, but Rameses' has a good encyclopedia, instead of just refering people to other bots, we can have my bot talk to Rameses' and get the info.

YER, But then, wouldn't it be getting same information, twice?

You should check out botwork. Its based around the concept of each bot providing different services like dictionary etc, and then sharing them.
