Actually, I’m not sure I want her or not… but it’s hard not to see the resemblance between cc:Betty and her deceased sister, (I Want) Sandy. Sandy was an online virtual assistant, who passed away (OK, her creator got hired by Twitter) last November, amidst major user uproar.
cc:Betty is a … yes, you guessed right, online virtual assistant being launched at DEMO today. Will she have a longer life than her sister? Remains to be seen – VentureBeat has the scoop.

I must admit I LOL’d when I saw this! It certainly looks like a Sandy rip off – right down to the Archie-esque naming, although I think that this poor Betty looks a bit too ‘housewifey’ for my needs.
It is a shame that the initial energy behind the open source cloning of iwantsandy has stalled. There is still a large hole in the web that needs to be filled.
