I like it! Add it to future wishlist or can you ask Mark to do that now?
Upon thinking about this further, Mark's bot doesn't pull in other sources like Europeana or Flickr. As such, it might make more sense to fork his code: https://github.com/samplereality/DPLAbot. This might be something fun for me to try to learn to do.
It's definitely a future effort, unless I can get Mark responding very soon.
There appear to be Trove (https://twitter.com/TroveNewsBot) and Europeana bots (https://twitter.com/EuropeanaBot) as well. So this really could be pretty easy.
Are you actually doing this?
Not actually doing this. Something for future development.
Sounds fun. @briancroxall - I'm willing to consult/advise to try to help you if/when you decide you want to take a crack at this.
Thanks @rlskoeser. Something to do in all my spare time!
I'm closing this as I've moved it to the wish list on the wiki... https://github.com/chnm/serendipomatic/wiki/Wishlist-items-and-future-development-road-map
Here's the EuropeanaBot-Repository. Maybe you'll find it useful
Thanks @hatorikibble! This will be helpful...if I ever find some spare time.
https://github.com/wragge/trovebuildabot might also be a useful example (written in python, so it could be built onto & deployed with the current serendipomatic codebase)
We've got a Twitter account, but that will be hard to manage with a real person. And since the software won't be going through a number of iterations, it might not be as important.
It might be useful, then, to use a Twitter bot to tweet serendipitous things. I wonder if we could appropriate Mark Sample's for this.
