Twitov, a generative text bot based on your Twitter history
Twitov takes the Twitter history file some lucky folks have been given access to (Twitter says: Rolling it out "slowly" to everyone) and turns it into the brain for a Markov chatterbot. The results are slightly deranged and slightly stupid, but sometimes pretty funny.

I was thinking about you folks while I was making it, so I thought I'd announce it here. Some of you may be familiar with Liblr and Kreskin, which I also made and have gotten some love on Mefi.

The UI is awful rough, but it's at that point where I realized everything I started out assuming is now terribly wrong but it still manages to work enough to show people.

Sadly, my file has not rolled out yet but in theory, I love everything about this.

Even though I'm pretty sure mine will just be being lots of swears and half-punchlines for jokes that didn't make sense the first time anyway.
