An idea for a twitter bot

  • that picks users at random

I got this idea when I saw unicodeveloper's tweets about picking five twitter accounts, that indicate interest in an advanced JavaScript course, at random to gift the course to.

Syntax

Here's a list of correct syntax for such a bot, and meanings:

  • @PickAtRandom n replies
  • @PickAtRandom n likes
  • @PickAtRandom n retweets
  • @PickAtRandom n replies to [link]
  • @PickAtRandom n likes to [link]
  • @PickAtRandom n retweets to [link]

(singular expressions)

  • @PickAtRandom a reply
  • @PickAtRandom a like
  • @PickAtRandom a retweet

Output

When invoked with a valid command, the bot will respond to the selected tweets/users while mentioning the commander, and the tweet will include the link to the command tweet e.g.

"1. This reply is selected. cc @mykeels [link]"
