Web Business by Ken Burbary: Twitter Bots usage steadily growing

  • Michael Jensen · 1 year ago
    Nice write up on Twitter Bots! I'm the developer of both HappyTwitDay and TweetBeep that you mentioned (thanks!). I just finished a new Twitter bot today, @twanslate - Twitter Translator. Follow @twanslate and then send a dm like 'd twanslate fr Where is the bathroom?' and it will send back the french translation. Lots of languages supported, just do 'd twanslate help' or see http://twanslate.com. Thanks!

    I enjoyed reading this article, especially the idea of putting apps into two camps.

    Here's another pull bot

    @myflightinfo send your flight information and it will return the status of your flight.

    Thanks for the tip. I had not seen that bot before

    I just wrote it a week ago. I couldn't find anything similar for checking my flight status on Twitter.
    I was doing a lot of traveling and there was no way to easily get flight status from my blackberry. Web browser is just too slow and I didn't want to sign up for more alerts or services. 140 char travels much faster and my BB is always on.

    Two twitter bots : @twtask to create tasks directly from twitter and @getsong to read lyrics and listen songs.

    thanks for the tips, it's really nice that twitter has a bot, and by the use of it my followers could grow really fast. http://hummingbirdtool.com/
