Hmmm. Micro.blog bots: are there any? Bots as in “creative experiments in generative text” rather than “incite and inflame”. I assume folks here would be wary of possible bad actors, but I’m also curious as to whether it could be a more amenable platform for creative coding…
@jsamlarose given posting here is entirely an automated process of pulling content from an external blog, in a way we're all bots! I don't see why you couldn't automate a bot that posted to a blog, which would then appear here.
@joshsharp iiiiinteresting. Yes. Make sense. That points in the direction of a possible mechanism for making something work. (*Adds to list of things to experiment with...)
@jsamlarose I haven’t noticed any bits, yet, but since micro.blog consumes RSS I bet it’d be pretty easy to build one! A blog engine that supports future-dates posts would probably work!?
@fiona good point! I hadn't thought of them as separate but of course they are. Much simpler to just generate a new rss item.
@fiona @jsamlarose I was just writing up a bunch of Micro Monday recommendations at a time and then using WordPress’s “scheduled post” feature to make them come out on Mondays. Sadly, no “serious’ automation there.
And glad the wiki seems helpful; let @eli or me know if you have any suggestions :-)
