I've already tried something like this. I found that Twitter suspend the account incredibly fast if you interact with the website automatically. They can tell it's not natural. I switched to the API which is much more lenient.
- kennywinker 13y agoInteresting. What tool are you using to do this type of thing via the api?
- ztratar 13y agoCan you go into more detail? What kind of numbers are we talking about? My goal here isn't to hurt Twitter, so by limiting any sort of automtation and choosing selectively, I think this is a win for them. Not to mention I want to avoid getting people in any sort of trouble at all. If spaced out properly, this bot should, theoretically, be nearly impossible to detect.

- lalos 13y agoThe thing is that they have the data of tons of users and their behaviour, the time it takes between different actions and most importantly the time they spend on the site itself. A bot would be using for way longer times twitter instead of the 1-2 minutes the normal user spends on his twitter feed. Anyway interesting project, I like the idea of a not so spammy bot for getting more followers.
