I wouldn't characterise it as spamming. He's sending the messages on one of his own twitter accounts. If he was auto-replying on other people's blogs, he might more accurately be accused of spamming.
- mattmanser 16y agoGo look at the account: http://twitter.com/ai_agw http://twitter.com/ai_agw It's not one of his accounts, it's a spam bot. A tongue in cheek, funny pictures, really obvious to computer scientist 'hey I'm a bot' account, but it's still a twitter spam bot. And the bot is auto replying to random people's tweets. It clearly says so in the article.
- cabalamat 16y ago> It's not one of his accounts, it's a spam bot. It is a twitter account. He has the password to it, and presumerably no one else does. That makes it his twitter account.
