Twitter Bots

After reading about Dave Child’s Trivibot (and playing for awhile) I thought, “Wow this whole Twitter Bot thing could be huge! I should do something neat!”

Of course, my disappointment at learning how many Twitter bots are already in existence just underscores how far behind I have fallen after my one year hiatus from tracking industry developments.

The good news? I built and deployed my first Twitter bot within just a few hours of discovering the possibility. Basically it retweets the blog posts from HalfEagle.com. (Of course, I’m doing that because HalfEagle.com is a project of mine… I’m not scraping someone else’s site.)

Next step? Writing an interactive twitter bot. :D

…I just need an idea that isn’t already been done. :/
