Thanks for sharing the code, I plan to clean it up a bit and put it to good use.

Thanks for publishing your code. I adapted it into Classic ASP and am now using it to power the @nojf group for people going down to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival this week.

Hi,
Which host are you using? I'm using GoDaddy, but I'm having some problems.
Thanks,
Greg

Greg -
I'm hosting this stuff on a MediaTemple gridserver account. While it's not as flexible in many ways as having a dedicated server, I've been very happy with them over the past year or so.
You might try getting in touch with Scott Schnaars -- he set up a bot using this code as a model and has been working through some issues with getting it running on a GoDaddy hosted account.

Hi Whit,
I got your Twitter bot to work! I moved from GoDaddy to MediaTemple. MT seems to be really great. I then uploaded your script and created a new database. All I had to do was config the script and wham-o - it worked!
Lessons learned: use a real host if you're going to do real web work.
Thanks for your help,
Greg

Excellent to hear, Greg -- though, d'oh: I should have told you to put 250labs.com as a referral, so I got some free hosting out of it. :)

I'm thinking of making a bot for a friend and the information was very helpful. Thanks a lot. GOnna use MT for hosting since that seems easiest. I'll put your referral code so hopefully they hook you up a little bit.

Someone should make a service that creates and manages Twitter bots through a simple web site. I'm sort of surprised it doesn't already exist... then again, maybe it does and I just don't know about it. TwitterFeed is pretty close.
Amazing work there..Kudos for sharing this out. Role Play

Twitter is too saturated with marketers wanting to sell. It is just an autofollow train where no one gets anywhere and it doesn't serve it's purpose.

twitter is great! simple and easy to use application make things a success.
i like the applications people are creating around twitter. i would like to have twitter app as private tool to discuss the daily work inside company. email / forums / blog / wiki are not the perfect solution for this....but twitter like app would be great.
This is just about the most intelligent comment on Twitter I have ever read. Someone out there really understands twitter in the VC community, I am happy and amazed. This is going to be a massive set of businesses - almost like an open-source listserv. I wonder if Twitter has some juicy account names set up in reserve for itself... it could be like a domain-name spree... and what company wouldn't want this kind of access to its fans? (other than bad companies of course)

I agree with Aneeklive. Twitter is a great tool, however without the apps, I believe it would be like any other social networking tool. The apps is what makes it "hip."
I also kind of expect to see Twitter building similar tools at some point, since the ~1,500 API calls/day limit means that third parties can't do group tools that scale very well. Any large group or tool that uses direct messages will burn through those API calls pretty quick. Interesting possibility for Twitter, actually: people can build their own groups using the API, or pay a monthly and use Twitter-native group tools so that (a) no coding is required, and (b) the group can scale since you're not API rate limited.
