Re: Who's on Twitter here?
Yeah, thats usually what I do, figure out a little something that I can see myself using and write it... My ideas right now are a little lacking though.
The only things I've got are things like the old fashion Chatbots- Send is a message and it will roll dice for you and the like- or something like a group system, you send it a message (@groupbot new group, Bloggeries) and it will create a group named Bloggeries. It responds with a code (kinda like tinyurl does, a similar looking code). Have everyone you want in the group track that code, and then to send messages to the entire group just type in "@groupbot Bloggeries, Blah Blah Blah", and it would respond with "<code>, Blah Blah Blah," which would make it so that everyone tracking that code would get the message.
I'm not quite sure if that would be all that used though, so I'm a little hesitant to make it, that conceptually seems like quite a bit of coding, especially if it isn't really going to get used.
Something else I'm considering doing is writing a script to collect the entirety of the everyone rss feed and letting it run for a week or two. I can only imagine what you could do with that kind of information, it would certainly give a good idea of what all twitter is being used for.
