Are Twitter Bots really Robots<\/h2>\n

Now that I’ve asked you to create (or use) your Twitter account for this course, I will ask you to create another one in order to create a Twitter Bot. Each Twitter account needs a unique email address, so keep that in mind.<\/p>\n

Social Media Power<\/h2>\n

I know that Audrey Watters<\/a> has done work with Twitter Bots and I caught a post on her Facebook wall yesterday about one of her new bots Red Tutor<\/a> so I asked in the comments if someone could share resources to get my students started. \u00a0David Kernohan<\/a> responded with a link to help out. \u00a0The message here is curate and maintain your social network, contribute to that network and it will contribute back to your work.<\/p>\n

The Tool<\/h2>\n

Obviously there are many tools to do this, Twitter has API documentation<\/a> you can work with and should investigate deeper if this interests you. The link shared by David is to “Cheap Bots, Done Quick”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Digging Deeper<\/h2>\n

I would recommend you check out the work of Kin Lane<\/a> (the API Evangelist) and in particular his API 101 resource<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Comments or Suggestions<\/h2>\n

If you have more resources or want to link to your Twitter Bot, include that in the comments as well as contributing to our conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #TC1019<\/p>\n
