messenger C++ bot

[gh0st]

hey guys Ive been googling for a bot of messenger and Im planning to code it on C++ Ive found this:

about msn protocols:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Live_Messenger#Protocol

about sockets:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_socket

well both are not about how to code a bot but its a client chat program so we can modify it a bit and Im going to need a database right?

what would be my next steps to build it? ty in advance

A bot like forge human presence?
If so all you would need would be read from socket and write to socket, according to the message received, although that would be a huge list...
To be effective you would need to have checks for smiles, adjectives list, interpret numbers as letters and would probably still fail a lot :O
I haven't coded in WinAPI, but shouldn't there be some interaction with a socket? like a send() or socket<<"Bla bla bla";
Also I believe you need to add \r\n and the end of every strings, but that I can't ensure.
