Probably a couple hundred metadata fields for each tweet, right? he's at least one order of magnitude off right out of the gate

  Also, Isn’t the metadata the important part for determine not vs non bot? I don’t think bots start there tweet, “bot here: “

    Yes, and the firehose will lack things like IP addresses and non-Tweeting activity elsewhere on Twitter.com that'd be used internally to raise flags.

      At least an older version of flockdb is open source. He's got somewhere to start.

  Not to mention the graph that you'll have to build between messages and users not trivially related. It's going to be far from trivial. If it was easy to find bots everyone would do it.
