Having fun with Twitter. I have written several “twitter-bots” which are autonomously going around posting tweets and looking for followers. Have got about 50 followers on each so far, in the first 12 hours. WOOT!
Update 1st November 2013: One month later, my Twitter-bots have about 1,000 followers each!
Update 1st November 2015: Two years on, and most my Twitter-bots have well over 10,000 followers!
Here are just a few of my autonomous accounts:
- @Samwise500k – 18,300 followers
- @Kevin500k – 13,600 followers
- @Audrey_is_Boss – 15,500 followers
- @JackFlash500k – 11,800 followers
- @tweetbombdotcom – 13,600 followers
- @Thompson250k – 12,100 follower
Hi Neil, nice to meet you and your blog. This is awesome because I found what I need here before, like backlink profiles from high PR sites. and now I’m here to know your bot. is it still working?
Thanks Mahardika! Yes they are, I just updated the post, most of them have over 10,000 followers now, the best has nearly 20,000 followers. I have been attempting to do the same thing with Instagram, (with some success), although they are a LOT more bot-aware at Instagram. My Instagram bots have between 4,000 – 7,000 followers each.
