I wrote a bot that generates @replies a little while back. The motive was to "send" a message that refers users to our service when a specific type of URL is mentioned by a user. We have a policy which we adhere to VERY strictly regarding messaging users one time only. You'd be surprised at the amount of positive feedback we received.
- riklomas 18y agoIs that a little spammy considering the users haven't asked to be send a message? (Oh, here's my News.YC Twitter bot if anyone's interested: http://twitter.com/newsycombinator http://twitter.com/newsycombinator)
- turkishrevenge 18y agoIt's kind of a gray area. If we received negative reactions, we'd stop, but so far the responses have been overwhelmingly positive.
