Stupid, but I had a quick chuckle. You only get 1,000 tweets a day, so this wont be fun for long.

Disturbingly high percentage of spam/agenda-based targets for these flames. Am I missing something? Is this abuse, or is the signal-to-noise just that bad?

Why not send secret tweets "@thenewggirlinmyoffice I think you hot"? It does not have to be rude.

I like that idea. It could also be words of wisdom or something in between. The framework is already there and I don't mind giving anyone this code. All that needs to be changed are the quotes and the domain name.

It's pretty amusing how seriously some people take this.

Also, it seems to hit the max API calls / tweets pretty quickly. Maybe you should make an army of Twitter accounts? Though Twitter may disapprove...
