1. 10 Print ebooks

   This bot mashes up the complete text of my 10 PRINT book and generates occasionally nonsensical but often genius Markov chain tweets from it. The bot also incorporates text from other tweets that use the #10print hashtag, meaning it “learns” from the community. [...]The 10 PRINT bot is built in Processing.

   From author's description in "<a href="http://www.samplereality.com/2013/01/12/from-fish-to-print-my-2012-in-re... Fish to Print: My 2012 Year in Review."</a>

2. Pentametron

   Description in I ♥ E-Poetry:

   This bot generates poetry by sifting through 10% of all Tweets, parsing them with a dictionary for the pronunciation data, and identifying the ones that happen to scan as iambic pentameter. It then organizes the tweets into rhyming couplets and publishes them in Twitter by retweeting the original postings. Finally, it aggregates them into the shape of a Shakespearean sonnet in a website (Pentametron.com) that offers a sequence of 14 sonnets. Every hour, a new couplet is posted, changing all 14 sonnets as one couplet enters the sequence of 98 couplets and the oldest couplet, the final volta, exits the collection.

3. Star Wars Tweets

   This poetic Twitter bot requires little explanation as to its concept, except for a minor clarification: by “the script of Star Wars,” it refers to the whole original trilogy. Perhaps this was not always the case, but it is currently tweeting the complete script to “The Empire Strikes Back” one line every 40 minutes.

4. Debasheesh Parveen and Ariadna Alfil

   These two “Facebots” (Facebook bots) were created in the last days of 2009 and quickly began to make friends, post images, and make cryptic status updates, commenting on each other’s updates. They started a relationship on January 13, 2010 and got married (that is, changed their relationship status to “married” on Facebook) on March 21, 2010. Ever since they have both been making status updates automatically every hour, (Ariadna every 2 hours) using the algorithm described below:

   Debasheesh Parveen is one of the 99 Sacred Names of the Internet. It is also an algorithm:

   1. Debasheesh Parveen takes a random news headline from the Al Jazeera feed.
   2. The headline is distorted using a text-manipulation algorithm.
   3. One of the words of the headline is chosen to search for an image on the Internet.
   4. The headline and the image are posted to Debasheesh Parveen’s Facebook profile.

   This happens automatically, at regular intervals.

5. Bruno Latourbot

   This Twitter bot provides random sentences from Bruno Latour’s published writings (translated into English). Its operations don’t seem to be entirely automatic or completely random because it doesn’t post on an exact mechanical schedule, it makes a different number of postings each day, it occasionally skips a day or two, and it doesn’t seem to repeat sentences. This suggests that there may be more than one actor in the (social) network, consisting of a text-mining program and a human being running it, selecting interesting results and posting them on Twitter. It is only fitting that this kind of cyborg bot tribute be offered to Latour, whose principle of “generalized symmetry” led him to study “the productions of humans and nonhumans simultaneously” (We Have Never Been Modern 103).

7. @everyword

   @everyword is a Twitter bot that tweeted every word in the English language, in alphabetical order, one at a time, every half hour. <@everyword started its task in late 2007 and completed it in 2014. Along the way, it picked up over 100,000 followers and inspired dozens of parodies and imitations. The project, initially inspired by John F. Simon's Every Icon, was an exercise in the potential synergies of social media and experimental writing techniques extending over time: What happens when single words, invested with their own lexical context, are juxtaposed with ever-changing, personalized Twitter feeds? How does social media as a channel shape and afford the presentation of writing?

10. @Darius_at_GDC

    This bot is a stand-in for Kazemi at the Game Developer’s Conference happening at the time of this posting in San Francisco, because he will not be able to attend for the first time in 10 years. So instead of pining away on Twitter as #GDC tweets flood his stream, he created a bot so his friends could have the pleasure of his company in their own streams, which as we know, is almost as good as his being there.
