Mama Pendse : Everybody's new best friend

My cousin Satish recently introduced me to mama_pendse. And i must say it was well worth the "networking" exercise.

All you need to do is add mama_pendse as your friend on yahoo and he is always there for you.

Mama pendse is the latest craze on yahoo and orkut. Everyone wants to be his friend.

So who is this guy???

Well mama_pendse is the latest java BOT, that provides you with a host of services on Yahoo messenger. You just need to send him a message with the right command and yo uget a response back immediately with what you are looking for.

This is a wonderful idea considering the fact that almost all of us are always online and on some messenger at any point in time, especially with so many blackberries etc doing the rounds.
