Cupid's Bow Strikes Instant Messenger

First it was Santa, now it's Cupid. AOL, with the help of its dating property Love.com, has debuted its latest AIM Bot called Cupid. Users can use the Bot to send "IM Crushes" to friends, play games and, of course, find eligible singles in preparation for Valentine's Day.

The IM Crush feature will allow a user to send a message anonymously to another AIM user. The recipient will have three guesses to discover their secret admirer. If the person gets it right, both people will receive an IM. If he or she gets it wrong, they can find out who has a crush on them come Valentine's Day. The service is available immediately by adding "Cupid" to AIM's buddy list.
