inf.net project overview By Ilya Gelfenbeyn and Pavel Sirotin

inf.net Inf.net video intro

inf.net Inf.net is a community of virtual talking characters called infs . Users can create their own infs, design their appearance and teach them. When the inf is ready, it can be posted on Facebook, MySpace, Blogger, Wordpress or any other website as a flash code. Inf’s conversation logs after each conversation can be improved by its creator to make the inf smarter.

iii.ru and inf.net iii.ru is the project in Russian, launched in March 2009. inf.net is an English version of the project with the same functionality started in January 2010.
