So I spent the last four hours making a Twitter bot. Most of that involved figuring out how to parse text using regular expressions. You can see him over at @DraculaSOTN retweeting 5 people every 30 minutes, telling them what a man is. I hate the phrase “be a man,” so he just does a quick search for “be a man,” adds his famous exclamation to the beginning (along with an RT and @theoriginalauthor), and tweets. The backbone is running off of Yahoo! Pipes and TweetFeed. I’m sure there’s a better way to do this, like the Nappa bot that does everything instantly, but this will do.

EDIT: It already got suspended. lol
