To check out the damage:

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...

another way around the rate limits is to ask to be whitelisted (http://twitter.com/help/request_whitelisting).

twitter was even nice enough to whitelist my test account the last time I asked.

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?

I'm guessing it will be marked spam soon but interesting.

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.
