[Talk-br] Fwd: [OSM-talk] Twitter bots
Fala galera, esse camarada criou um bot para publicar os changesets de uma determinada área no twitter. Já pedi para ele criar o http://twitter.com/osm_rio com a bbox da Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro. Se vocês quiserem bots de outras regiões, mandem um email para ele (ou para mim e eu repasso).

If you want to run a similar bot, you can find the source at http://git.alech.de/?p=osm_twitter_bots.git Alternatively, I can add a bit of code to run more than one bot at a time and run a few of them for you (until I hit the Twitter API limits), I'd only need a name and a bounding box for that.

Re: [OSM-talk] Twitter bots
Hi Alexander, Nice to see it popular, however... a few of us like to use a twitter search for openstreetmap to see what humans are saying but recently pretty much all of the tweets we receive for this search are from these bots. Would it be possible to reduce the level of spam - one example could be for the bots to use the shorturl (osm.org) or other short url service instead of the full openstreetmap.org url?

There currently isn't a shortlink for the browse pages. Instead you'll need to use a third party service. Personally I wouldn't want every edit in an area, just a daily or hourly summary of the number of changes.

Alexander - I think if you urlencode a URL before passing it to twitter, twitter will automatically shorten it using the bit.ly service. Might be something to look into. Then neither openstreetmap.org or osm.org will be used for the URLs. Andy -- Andy PGP Key ID: 0xDC1B5864 ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

You get a list of all bots by looking at the followers of @osm_bots For now, you could block those accounts.

There currently isn't a shortlink for the browse pages. Instead you'll need to use a third party service. Hmmm, www.osm.org/browse/changeset/$id seems to work fine for me. I already use tweak.tk if the tweet is too long, but I like it better to see the real URL (see the tr.im disaster) if possible. For the search, -changeset works fine as well (because I guess users will typically not tweet about changesets). Personally I wouldn't want every edit in an area, just a daily or hourly summary of the number of changes. I was thinking about that as well, I could make it an option. I guess it would be interesting to see and compare different countries that way as well. I'll probably need to do this via the planet.osm diffs, though, I guess, because it would be a waste to download all the changesets via the API just to get the number of them. Using the planet.osm, several statistics bots would be possible as well, like number of roads added, number of cafés, bus stops, etc. Cheers, Alex signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
