The Codexero BOT - An experimental IM bot

UPDATE: THE BOT SEEMS TO BE OFFLINE. THE BOT HOSTING SERVICE IS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS.
The codexero BOT is the result of my experimental approach to getting useful information within the IM client itself, in a hassle free manner. The error rate is at maximum since the back end for the BOT is hosted by a free web server. During the tests the BOT performed quite well, although some down times were experienced.

Currently the Codexero BOT can get the latest flight information, display word definitions and display information on places, people and things.
codexero@msn.com

Some useful commands:

info - Display information on a query, example: info Maldives
dict - Display word definitions, example: dict hello
flight - Display flight information, example: flight sq451.

I would appreciate any feedback provided.
