In my case I've found a dozens of interesting outlets, but I can be up on 95% of current goings on by subscribing to SPAG emails, getting the GTxA and Brass Lantern RSS feeds, and periodically drop in to ifMUD and rec.arts.int-fiction to check recent posts, which all told is really only about 5-10 minutes of reading daily. My guess is that a similar chatbot list would begin with <a href="http://www.alicebot.org/" rel="nofollow">A.L.I.C.E.</a> news posts and the <a href="http://www.pandorabots.com/botmaster/en/mostactive" rel="nofollow">Pandorabots</a> populatity list...?

It might be interesting to see similar lists for chatbots, crossmedia works, etc. - that is, not attempting to be definitive or exhaustive lists of resources, but rather a short list of the most important starting points and media channels to follow in ongoing research.
