 This lesson explains how to create simple twitterbots using the [Tracery generative grammar](http://tracery.io) and the [Cheap Bots Done Quick](http://cheapbotsdonequick.com/) service. Tracery exists in multiple languages and can be integrated into websites, games, bots. You may fork it [on github here](https://github.com/galaxykate/tracery/tree/tracery2).
 
 ## Why bots?
-Strictly speaking, a twitter bot is a piece of software for automated controlling a Twitter account. When thousands of these are created and are tweeting more or less the same message, they have the ability to shape discourse on Twitter which then can influence other media discourses. Bots of this kind [can even be seen as credible sources of information](http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563213003129). Projects such as [Documenting the Now](http://www.docnow.io/) are creating tools to allow researchers to create and query archives of social media around current events - and which will naturally contain many bot-generated posts. In this tutorial, I want to demonstrate how one can build a simple twitterbot so that, knowing how they operate, historians may more easily spot the bots in our archives - and perhaps counter with bots of their own.

 But I believe also that there is space in digital history and the digital humanities more generally for creative, expressive, artistic work. I belive that there is space for programming historians to use the affordances of digital media to create _things_ that could not otherwise exist to move us, to inspire us, to challenge us. There is room for satire; there is room for comment. With Mark Sample, I believe that there is a need for '[bots of conviction](https://medium.com/@samplereality/a-protest-bot-is-a-bot-so-specific-you-cant-mistake-it-for-bullshit-90fe10b7fbaa)'.
