Kon the C# Chatterbot

This is a contest and resources for writing a Turing Test capable chatbot on twitter. The turing test means that the bot needs to be capable of being indistinguishable (or as near as) from a human being. So a spammy bot will get nowhere. If you can code in C#, perl, python, ruby or (insert favourite programming language of choice here) then come have a go at it!

I am presently working on two lines of research aimed to converge on conversational agents, or chatbots, for the mobile market. I have been working on technology to convert books into knowledgebases (Project VagaBot). And I have been developing feedbots to feed realtime, prefiltered information into knowledgebases (Twitter, Bots & Twitterbotting).
