   @erkanyilmaz maybe advertising bots should have their own social network ;)

     Funny true story, @marjoleink: at my #dayjob developing actual #robots, we have a !StatusNet that's used primarily by the robots.

     @rozzin oh, that's fun! Do they use it to exchange informaation, or only for 'statuses"?

     The robots just post various status-updates; it's (mostly) humans who read those updates + occasionally post notes in response to robots.

     Robots post #helloworld & #goodnight w/ location when they turn on/off; log upgrades etc. SQL DB is mined to show where they're all likely to be, whether they're on, etc.

     @rozzin does any bot ever get 'lost'? do they post updates between #helloworld and #goodnight?

     @marjoleink, software-upgrades necessarily happen between #helloword and #goodnight ☺

     Not sure what `lost' means....

     @rozzin location unknown, bot no longer posting it?
   • Joshua Judson Rosen (rozzin)'s status on Wednesday, 22-May-2013 23:02:39 EDT Joshua Judson Rosen

     • marjoleink
     I frame the question in terms of `last known location' + `time of last update', not `location known/unknown'; so I guess `lost' means `last known location too stale to be useful', but everyone gets to define their own limits.

     @rozzin morning! yes "last known location too stale to be useful" is a good description of what I had in mind. 1/2

     @rozzin I don't know how far your bots roam, though! :) do they ever get 'lost' in that sense or are they within view?
   • Joshua Judson Rosen (rozzin)'s status on Wednesday, 22-May-2013 23:20:21 EDT Joshua Judson Rosen

     • marjoleink
     Everyone's lost, all the time—the question's just `how lost are you' (how far could you have gone since last knowing where you were?) & `who can best help locate you'.

     @rozzin I am practically never lost - when it happens, the time it happened before was many years ago. ;) Last time was years ago already

     @marjoleink, there's always someone who knows where they are.

     @rozzin but generally humans can ask other humans - what does a bot do when it doesn't know where it is?

     @rozzin and what do you do when you don't know where a bot is? What happens if it has lost its power?
