Gaming Cursebird
Cursebird is a moderately amusing real-time view of tweets containing English profanity. This analysis of the process of climbing Cursebird’s leaderboard is incrementally more amusing, especially the bits about bot competition, which extend into the comments.
I hadn’t known that Twitter will put the brakes on entities which tweet too much, which at the time of this writeup about a year ago was 125 tweets over three hours, which works out to 1000/day.
