Twitter Bot Yearbook: 2014

[beaugunderson]

Not sure if this falls under the purview of NaNoGenMo but I'm working on generating a yearbook of (art) Twitter bots for 2014. Initial searches reveal almost 800 bots created in 2014 with an art-y purpose.

Code here.

I have a few that I doubt are in there?

What a cool idea!

@MichaelPaulukonis You're correct, I'll make sure they're listed--this brings up another project I'd like to work on, which is a bot census. Right now all of the bots I know of are added to one of ~15 Twitter lists that collect bots (which will certainly miss many).
