One Easy way to create a Twitter bot (ah ah arh)

Today I decided to try my hand at creating a twitter bot, which would automatically tweet back at a fellow tweeter based on a keyword.

What better bot to create than one for Count Von Count from Sesame Street? So now if anyone out there tweets the name 'Count Von Count' they will get a little message from the Count himself!

I was a bit inspired by the work of www.muffinlabs.com who have created one for Robocop @for_a_dollar and Betelgeuse @Betelgeuse_3

CREATE YOUR OWN TWITTER BOT:
If you want to create your own Twitter bot, check out this page from www.digeratimarketing.co.uk it's a lot easier than I expected, using next to no coding, it uses Yahoo Pipes to function and a little help from twitterfeed. Enjoy!
