Do we have any expert web crawling robot developers out there!
I need a hot bot! To deliver a message, rather than collect data, but if it can do two things at once, all the better!
By the way, is it legal?

As the nature of a bot is to reside on the unknowing owners PC and deliver information to a predetermined destination without his knowledge or consent i think it's fair to asume it's a no no.

I think you're talking about a virus or a worm. A bot is just a program that does something automatically on the web, but entirely from the comfort of your very own PC.
