This is the third bot we’ve posted about in the past week or so. First, we offered a look at WeatherBugBuddy (real-time weather info). Next, TCKRBuddy, providing free, real-time stock quotes.

Today, BBCNewsFlash. This bot offers hourly news headlines (delivered at the top of every hour) from the BBC. This bot available for AIM, GTalk/Jabber, and MSN Instant Messenger. Each message contains the headline/link to the last five stories updated on the BBC News web site.

BBCNewsFlash is a free service.
