The official google blog wants you to leave a voicemail with them.

<<<Want to send us a birthday message? Leave us a voicemail at talkbirthdaygmail.com.>>

but guess what??? i added them to my google talk list, and now I can chat with them too... there is a real person there, believe it or not. :D

Kirby: Happy Birthday!!
talkbirthday: thanks!

or maybe just a bot...

maybe.. shall i ask, "are you a bot?" :)

No Kirby..ask it a captcha question ... "what colur is an apple " ? :)-

Did it instantly accept the invitation?

I added talkbirthdaygmail.com as a gmail contact and tried to strike up a conversation. They said thanks after I wished them happy birthday, but that was all I could get out of them.

that's all i can get out of them too....

I bet they just assume people will say, "Happy Birthday!" so just make it say "thanks!" and then nothing afterwards.

If you add talkbirthdaygmail.com as a contact and send "Google Talk really sucks!" does it still reply with "thanks!"?

Anyone wanna give it a try? ;-)

kirby – no problem, it was kinda buried in a different thread. I only knew about it because I read about it this morning :)-
