This is an experiment of a Twitter bot made with Golang.
This project is a growth hacking test of creating a Twitter bot and see how far it can go.
The bot do mainly 4 things :
- Tweet about defined topics
- Favorite tweets that are related to those topics
- Follow people that are tweeting about those topics
- Reply nicely to mentions
It's based on the work of the great clementb and made with love.
This project was a way for me to try Golang and see what I can do with it. It uses some external libraries and tools:
- Anaconda: An open source library to access Twitter API
- Go SQL Driver: A Golang MySQL driver
- Go-wit: A Golang API for wit.ai
Right now, the bot is running on a test account: Please meet Mich Birdy!
Maybe you already follow him and you don't even know ;) Be nice with him, he's only... a bot!
