Twitter patterns
There’s a new tool for graphing the Twitter output of people (or bots). It shows number of tweets per hour, and either the type of tweet (single new, threaded new, retweet ,reply, quote) or the app used to do post it. It also shows repeated tweet text
Here’s my Auckland bus Twitter bot. It only does standalone tweets, four per hour, and it broke down for a few days. There’s the standard evening tweet repeated every day and the “can’t find the internet” tweet a few times.

You can see I was overseas last week. My tweeting went down a bit after Friday 15th.
