Making nonsense out of your carefully crafted tweets. | ||
Twitomatic is a twitter bot that uses markov chains to produce tweets based on its followers tweets and the twits that mention it. When a user tweets a mention of the bot it will respond with a "markovation" of the last 800 tweets by that user (that don't contain links or mentions of other users). It will also follow that user. It will occasionally (configurable as a percent chance every time it is run) tweet a markovation of the latest 800 tweets from all of the users it follows. | ||

Easiest way to use the script is to repeatedly call it using something like cron. Make sure to set the screen_name, token and consumer settings in the twitter_settings.py. The screen name should be the username of the twitter account that the bot is hosted on. Consumer should be the key and secret of a twitter app that you have registered and the token should be the key and secret of the twitter account for that app. See https://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_single_token for info on getting a single access token and avoiding the oauth flow. | ||
