EuropeanaBot - finder of weird stuff, cat pictures and unicorns
Twitter bots are a way that lets digital collections speak for themselves. EuropeanaBot tweets random images from the European Digital Library that are related to news items, Nobel prize winners, Wikipedia entries, historical dates, etc. The Bot also likes cat pictures, unicorns and is a fan of MC Hammer.
Tumblrs and Bots are new ways to bring a little bit of serendipity to digital collections. Other examples are the Australian Trove News Bot or the mechanical curator of the British Library.
You can get the code of the EuropeanaBot at GitHub or read more about the history of the project.
