NTT DoCoMo has been forced to introduce countermeasures to a mobile phone scam that is causing consternation in Japan.
The scam, which is known in Japanese as "wangiri" (one ring and cut), involves a computer using hundreds of phone lines to dial mobile phones numbers at random.
After one ring, the call hangs-up, which leaves the number stored in the receiving party's mobile phone. [The Register]
If the person returns the call they are connected to a sales tape soliciting business, and sometimes sex, services and are usually charged at premium rates for the call by the subscriber at the other end.

BotSpot - This site gives you an idea of what sort of things bots can do. I'm particularly interested in their section on tracking bots, chatterbots and website management bots. I've also tried some of the personal assistant bots, but they were a bit silly and distracting.
agentland.com - This site has the most annoying pop-up ads everywhere (are they trying to drive people to get one of the pop-up zapping bots?). On the other hand, the site is worth a look just to talk to Cybelle, the site's chatterbot. She's prettier and has more personality than ALEX :) If you can stand the pop-ups this site has an even more bots/agents available for download as well as helpful articles and links about bots.
