Hello,

I don’t think the Forecast bot is working. I added Forecast as someone I wanted to follow. But, I did not get a return follow, and could not do a direct message and use the bot.

i’d love to know which web service/product you are using to power your weather bot. Need a weather service for a web project that can handle some decent traffic and has pretty good response time

Thanks, Steve. Your articles on Twitter bots are great, and were an inspiration for me to create my own: timer.

Timer lets you set reminders for yourself using Twitter’s direct message functionality.

In addition, I setup a website that helps people learn about new Twitter bots, including the ones you mention above:

WTF happened to these things. Doesn’t look like any of them have updated in 3 weeks or so. What gives?

I checked this out; followed instuctions to get forecast, nothing. No messages, no direct messages, no twitters.

Twitter is fine for a distraction, but not if your life gets tied up in it.
