A Twitterbot is a program used to produce automated posts on the Twitter microblogging service, or to automatically follow Twitter users. Twitterbots come in various forms. For example, many serve as spam, enticing clicks on promotional links. Others post @replies or automatically "retweet" in response to tweets that include a certain word or phrase. These automatic tweets are often seen as fun or silly.〔 Some Twitter users even program Twitterbots to assist themselves with scheduling or reminders. ==Features of a Twitterbot== It is sometimes desirable to identify when a Twitter account is controlled by a bot. In a 2012 paper, Chu et al. propose the following criteria that indicate that an account may be a bot (they were designing an automated system): * "Periodic and regular timing" of tweets; * Whether the tweet content contains known spam; and * The ratio of tweets from mobile versus desktop, as compared to an average human Twitter user. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Twitterbot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
