Multi-user Google Earth, including bots
The "Business and Games blog" has some interesting info on avatars and bots in Google Earth, using Unype.
Unype has also developed chat bots that can live inside Google Earth: "You can park your bot and leave your salespost ( hotel, house for sale, car dealership, resort, or simply a store ) and go away. The Unype bot will talk to your visitors for you and keep a log of what happened. The brain is completely programmable by a simple text editor and a little knowledge of AIML so you can customize it to say exactly what you would like it to say."
While these current bots appear to be using AIML (the Alice brain), I would imagine it should be possible to integrate some other back-end with it, like the online survey communications channel I set up for my Second Life survey bots. So who knows - survey/interviewing bots in Google Earth soon?
