Chatbots land on Skype's Mac client and web app

If you've been dying to try out Skype bots but don't have a Windows PC, Android, or iOS device to chat on, you're finally in luck. Skype recently rolled out bot integration to the Mac client and the service's beta web app. There are only six bots to try out right now, which is to be expected since this is still a preview feature. Despite the small numbers, some of the automated services are fairly useful. Give Bing News some keywords such as "Presidential election" and you get three recent headlines for that topic.
