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?
+1My current search is openstreetmap OR #osm, and it is really annoying to see all these uninsteresting twitters.
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.

Cheers, Tim 2009/8/20 Alexander Klink <o...@alech.de>:Hi everyone, This weekend, I hacked together a quick twitter bot, which now tweets all changesets in a certain are (in my case, Darmstadt, Germany) - see http://twitter.com/osm_darmstadt I've found it quite useful thus far, on the one hand I write better changeset comments, because I know they will be on Twitter, on the other hand, I see what happens in my community. 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.
