Availabot

The "Availabot" is a USB-powered "instant messaging buddy-bot" which tells you when buddies go online/leave by falling over (leave) or standing up (go online).

Availabot stores the IM details of the friend it represents in the puppet itself. That means you can buy a few, load them with your own IM screenname and service, and give them out like business cards to your closest contacts
