5 Twitter Bots Worth Using

Twitter Bots can make the Twitter experience that much more effective. Here is a random list of bots that you may or may not enjoy:

CNN Breaking News

CNN Breaking News (14,939 followers) - This twitter bot feeds you breaking news headlines from CNN. Unfortunately, the tweets come without direct links, so if you want to continue reading, head on over to CNN.com. If you are a news junky, this is a must follow.

ESPN Top Stories

ESPN (1,262 followers) - This twitter bot feeds you top story headlines from ESPN. Unlike the CNN bot, each and every tweet comes with a link to the full story. If you are a sports nut (like me) this is definitely a bot to follow.

Woot

Woot (6,919 followers) - This twitter bot notifies you of the Woot item of the day. If you are Woot regular you know how quick some items can sell out. Having this bot stops you from having to visit Woot.com 20 times a day, it even notifies you when the item of the day sells out! The only downside to this bot is the fact that it looks like it hasn’t been working for the last 8 days (otherwise it’s great!)

Answerme

Answerme (389 followers) - This twitter bot allows you to ask questions and give answers with the rest of the Twitter community. This is a great bot to use if you are looking to stir up interesting conversation, grab data from your followers, or if you are simply looking for answer to a complicated question. * Disclaimer: I am a part of the answerme project

How @answerme Works

Whenever I ask a question using the following style:

@answerme what is your favorite appetizer?

The best way to respond to my question is to use the following style:

@answerme @ajvchuk nachos!

Here is an example of it at work:

Ajvchuk: @answerme Question for Mac users (and remember to reply by using @answerme @ajvchuk) - Where do you keep your dock?

yonnage : @answerme @ajvchuk With widescreen displays it doesn’t make sense for me on the bottom - i like left, hidden.

mattgillooly : @answerme @ajvchuk My dock is on the left side. Habit I picked up from my Windows days, where I think it makes more of a difference.

samtaggart: @answerme @ajvchuk I keep my dock at the bottom at a smallish size.

RyanMF : @answerme @ajvchuk Bottom&small. I don’t use the dock very much. I prefer a combo of Quicksilver and Overflow. Still on 10.4, so no stacks.
