bbcone tv twitter bot.jpg
Martin Kamara, has started working on a Twitter bot which reads TV Anytime data. He plans to release the source back into the public under a GPL licence.

Tv_twitter is a twitter bot I wrote in perl that reads tv-anytime data and broadcasts it using the twitter network. I wrote it with BBC’s tv and radio content in mind, inspired by backstage.bbc.co.uk. The bot is currently updating https://twitter.com/bbcone with the current program on BBC ONE and a short synopsis of it. It is still in pre_release state but if you are interested in running it or doing something else with it the source code available from the repository. A stable version should be out within a week.
