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?
