Desktop Assistants

Why are there no more desktop assisstant like Prody Parrot and Bonzi Buddy anymore? I used to love those programs.

Someone needs to develop one of those.

Oh, that brings back memories! I and my kid brother used to love Bonzi. :)

Though, I didn't know it was a spyware app back then.

You're alive!

And yeah, just found out that it used to be a spyware, but other than that, it was pretty fun!

No, I'm just writing to you from the great beyond. :p

All kidding aside, I kinda went off from federated social networks like identica, rstatus and diaspora a few years ago. And, I'm not sure, if I'm still back.

Though, you seem to be still kicking around. :D

Btw, I think you could call Siri and Cortana the new age assistants. It's just so happens they are on our mobile devices now and a lot smarter then the desktop agents of yesteryears.

They aren't on desktop, can't understand 90% of what I say, and most importantly not cute and cuddly looking! :)
