TwitBots made in JAPAN
#TwittBkk2: FailWhale Meeting at Bug & Bee on 7 Feb 2009
by @31o5

There are many TwitBots.

but today I want to introduce some
TwitBots made by Japanese.

Because I am a Japanse, and many of
Japanese technical people are
sometimes away from rest of the world
because of the language :(

and also it's very difficult to get involved in
Japanese market if you are non-Japanese.
i just want to connect the world kha :)

OK... let me start :)

Many of Japanese words have た(TA) the end of
the words.

For example...
食べた(tabe-TA) = eaten
作った(tsuku-TTA) = made
髪切った(kami ki-TTA) = had hair cut
起きた(oki-TA) = woke up

so it's easy to make
@something-tter

@harahetter
@harahetters
はらへったー(harahetter) = hungry
idea by @yukio_andoh
made by @motonagajiro
http://minken.net/mt/archives/000636.html

@harahetter
@harahetters
When you feel hungry or when you eat
something, reply @harahetter, then people
following @harahetters receive the updates.
@harahetters makes me more hungry though...
http://minken.net/mt/archives/000636.html

OK, you were hungry,
but now you've eaten.

@tabetter
食べた(tabeta) = i ate
To keep record what you eat.

@tabetter
@tabetter pickups follower's tweet about meal
and reply back \"enjoy it :)\" to the follower.
someone made this to keep his meal record.

@kamikitter
髪切った(kamikitta)? = did you have haircut?
This is favorite phrase of TAMORI (famous
presenter of TV show called \"Waratte-Iitomo\"),
he says this everyday (actually 5 days a week)
http://trac.codecheck.in/share/browser/lang/php/misc/scratch/kamikitter.php

seems it pick up
people to @
randomly.
it's been upgraded
these days.
@kamikitter speaks
more like real
TAMORI.
You can see the
code at the URL.

When you made something, tweet to
@tsukutter.
Use this to make your products popular :)
http://inajob.no-ip.org:10080/tsukutter/index.html

There must be more xxx-tter...
but for now, let's move to the next

You can use TwitBot to promote your
webservices/websites,
and it's great if it's useful for users :)

Many news websites automatically tweet
updated news, many people send blog
updates to twitter.

But it's still ONE-WAY.

It's better if you can get data via twitter.
or share the data with others.

@tabebot
食べる(taberu) = eat
by http://tabelog.com
tabelog.com is a social website about
restaurant.
@tabebot helps you to find where/what to eat.

http://tabelog.com

@tabebot will suggest where to eat, also give
you the url of the restaurant information (which
is on their website).
http://tabelog.com

ifnormative.

Programing LANGUAGE is a LANGUAGE,
many of programmers loves natural
languages as well.

So they like to play with text data.

Decompose news of the day into words, then
pickup some words and connect based on
Markov chain methods.
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/pha/20071124/1195904502

So you can know the news of the day in one
sentence, it includes keywords of the day.
sometimes (or most of the times) it's a mess, but
fun :)
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/pha/20071124/1195904502

Markov chain?

well....

I can't explain well...orz

help me, Wikipedia!
In mathematics, a Markov chain, named after Andrey Markov, is a stochastic process
with the Markov property. Having the Markov property means that, given the present
state , future states are independent of the past states. In other words, the description
of the present state fully captures all the information that could influence the future
evolution of the process. Future states will be reached through a probabilistic process
instead of a deterministic one.
At each step the system may change its state from the current state to another state, or
remain in the same state, according to a certain probability distribution. The changes of
state are called transitions, and the probabilities associated with various state-changes are
called transition probabilities.
An example of a Markov chain is a simple random walk where the state space is a set of
vertices of a graph and the transition steps involve moving to any of the neighbors of the
current vertex with equal probability (regardless of the history of the walk).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain

well... there are some more using
Malkov chain...

@kyoujin

@kyoujin
Decompose entries of kyoujin's blkog (http://polog.
org) into words, then pickup some words, connect
and make a sentence based on Markov chain
methods.
http://polog.org/archives/2007/05/11030602.php

@kyoujin tweets every one hour.
it's kind of cute :)

@yumeno
Decompose Yumeno's novel called \"少女地獄
(hell of girls)\" into words, then pickup some words,
connect and make a sentence based on Markov
chain methods.
http://polog.org/archives/2007/05/17230301.php

same as @kyoujin, but @yumeno's original
source is kind of crazy novel, so @yumeno
tweets are more crazier :D fun.
http://polog.org/archives/2007/05/17230301.php

well... these depend on Japanese
language too much...

let me introduce a very simple Twitbot
for twitter addicts.

@jihou
時報(jihou) = time tone

http://www.msng.info/archives/2007/12/twitter_time_signal_bot.php

just to tell the time. Twitter addicts read twitter
timeline more than clock.
\"It's 23:00 now\"
http://www.msng.info/archives/2007/12/twitter_time_signal_bot.php

Are you addicted?

maybe i am....

Anyway, let's tweet :D

Khoop khun kha :D
