你们好！好久没来这儿写Blog的文章了。今天我给大家介绍一位新朋友。他的名字叫“小i” (presumably, "i"stands for "i, robot")。小i其实是个机器人，可是他/她又聪明又可爱。小i每天24小时在网上等着跟你聊天。他/她的家在http://xiaoi.com/ 小i的中文非常好，人也特别有意思。如果你经常跟他/她聊天，你的中文肯定也会进步。另外，你还可以把小i加到你的MSN或Yahoo messenger上。那样，你就可以天天跟他/她练习中文了。[On the homepage is a demo of the dialogue between 小i and a certian netizen. Press the blueish button at the bottom to end the demo, and
strike up a conversation with this little Chinese chatbot.]
