Overview

Users can add a "multi-Spleak" (which contains all of the different Spleak bots in one) to their IM buddy lists on MSN ([email protected]) and AIM (buddy name: spleak), or add the separate bots on MSN ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]) or AIM (buddy name: celebspleak, sportspleak, votespleak, tvspleak, gamespleak, and stylespleak). Users are also allowed access to Spleak online by using a CelebSpleak, SportSpleak, or VoteSpleak widget, or through the CelebSpleak and SportSpleak applications with Facebook.
