There’s….not much to say besides the headline, really… almost a year ago, a twitter user made a tongue-in-cheek comment that it would be cool if someone tweeted all of Moby Dick.
A light bulb went off for a twitter user named danco (Dan Coulter), and he endeavored to make it happen, under a separate Twitter account (complete with whale wallpaper, natch). 9 1/2 months and 12,849 updates later - that’s around 45 tweets a day, as twitter updates have a 140 character limit - the book’s last line: “It was the devious-cruising Rachel, that in her retracing search after her missing children, only found another orphan.” was tweeted yesterday, May 13th, at 7:08 a.m.
Danco is quick to assure audiences that it was a bot, not him, doing the day-in, day-out tweeting.
Pointless
Why….that’s TECHNOLOGY at work!
I bet we could do it in text messages, too:
“Call me, Ishmael.”
hahahahahha
Some bots don’t have enough to do, too much time on their….uh……
Never mind!
