How-to: Create an Auto-Retweet Twitter Bot

I had to set up an auto-retweet bot for the Social Media Club Charlottesville twitter account, and this tutorial was all I needed to get the job done in less than 15 minutes. A little Yahoo! Pipes knowledge is helpful, but even without it, I believe you could pick it up rather quickly.

I know that some of you think of spam when you see the word “bot”, but bots can be extremely useful. In my case, we plan to use the @SMCCville account to retweet the #smccville hash tag so followers of @SMCCville get fed articles about social media and local uses of social media.
