Eliza The Twittering Denial Of Service Attack

Twitter has been buzzworthy for several months now, and I’m shocked, SHOCKED that someone hasn’t yet set up a Twitterbot that posts blocks of spam. For that matter, why haven’t we seen any kind of Twitter/Jaiku/etc. bot? It seems like a trivial off-the-shelf prank for the taking…

Set up a suitably trendy profile (“Hi, I’m lonelygirl16. I’m a undergraduate architecture student in Aachen who loves old watches and the art of Jim Flora. Be my Twitter Follower”), load up the mad-libs generator with enough nouns, verbs, places, and phrases to keep the Army Of The Easily Entertained going and let ‘er rip. Run the bot for a couple months then reveal yourself with a hearty backslapping “PSYCH!” as you enjoy your moment of fame in the “Wired/Tired/Expired” column.

What gives Darknet denizens? I’m disappointed in you guys.
