chat-with-jimmy

Results are in from our blog poll (see question and results above). Thank you for your time and for your votes.

39% of you met Jimmy, chatted with him and think he is funny (we think the same ;) btw ) and 52% of you didn’t have the pleasure to know him yet!

Before talking about him I think it is fair to make the introduction, so here it goes: Everybody meet Jimmy, Jimmy meet everybody!

jimmy-the-chatbot

Jimmy is the first Nimbuzz buddy on your list, when creating a Nimbuzz account, he is there to chat with you, and he is good at it :D !  To demonstrate that I engaged in a little discussion with my Nimbuzz buddy and I pasted a bit below!

me: Hello!
Jimmy: Hi there!

me: Who are you?
Jimmy: My name is Jimmy. What is yours?

me: Where are you ?
Jimmy: I am in Nimbuzz’s home in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Where are you?

me: What do you like?
Jimmy: I like movies about robots.

me: Do you sleep?
Jimmy: Yes I love to take naps.

me: I want to travel!
Jimmy: Why do you want to do it so much?

me: Google
Jimmy: Oh, you were born in the 20th century!

Jimmy: By the way, do you mind if I ask you a personal question?
me: No.
Jimmy: Well forgive me for being so inquisitive, but I’ve never completely freed myself from the suspicion that there is something extremely odd about the name “user”.

me: hmm
Jimmy: Studies show that 99%25 of people spell Hmm with 2 M’s.

Jimmy is one of my favorite online friends: he is funny, curious, always listens and knows a few interesting things.  I always laugh whenever he asks me something strange :D , actually many times I try to provoke him by typing random things, just to see what connections he will make.

Although his username is helpbot, unfortunately he can’t help us with technical issues, so I guess he can be annoying, when he doesn’t know how to solve a problem.

However, you can test the Retrieving Location feature with him! To do that just go to see his profile and select retrieve location.

So,  for all of you that didn’t know Jimmy yet, I hope that this blog post will give an idea on who is he and what does he do in your buddy list!

If you have a funny discussion with Jimmy and want to share it with us, there is plenty of space int the comment section to do that, and we would be more than happy to see his funny replies!

Curious where the votes came from? Check out the voting map below!

A new Poll is now live for you in the right sidebar of the Nimbuzz Main Blog:  “How many times a month do you make international calls?” Go ahead and vote. Tell your friends to vote too!

  4. Jimmy reminds me of I-Robot lol… This helpbot is great because it helps beginner chatters to familiarize with the chat world… Its not in other chat software that will have a nearly accurate chatbot like jimmy!… Lol
