From the webpage:
Boilerplate for creating simple, non-interactive twitter bots that post periodically. My comparisons bot, @botaphor, is an example of how I use this template in practice.
This is intended for coders familiar with Python and bash.
…
If you can avoid Twitter censors (new rules, erratically enforced, a regular “feature”), then this Twitter bot template may interest you.
Make tweet filtering a commercial opportunity and Twitter can drop the cost with no profit center of tweet censorship.
Unlikely because policing other people is such a power turn-on.
Still, this is the season for wishes.
