I've done a bit of dev with twitter4j, allows you to tweet & DM programmatically if that is what you desire.

Twitter4J - Code Examples

On the subject of bots there is massive potential for plan Bs in there. A massive data set that is mostly untapped.

Any Twitter Dev's?

Been toying with trying to create a Twitter bot, plenty of tutorials online and managed to knock something simple up, however the main ones (NPM/twython etc) all allow you to search existing twitter posts and retweet/fav etc, but what I want to to is take a dynamic source (in the form of json) and create a tweet containing this single variable and some other static text around.

Surly this can't be too hard too do?
