Both Weibo and Twitter are flooded with massive robot marketing accounts, and once you send out the information that contains the keywords they are targeting, it will attract a lot of @. But there are also some less annoying, and even an interesting robot marketing account. Beginning at the beginning of the year, the Twitter account @Horse_ebooks, which is cited by many tech media, is an example.
@Horse_ebooks Send up to ten pushes per day, never @harassing people who don't care about themselves. The content it sends is basically a short sentence that is randomly picked up from the Internet and spliced. On average, every four or five pushes will be mixed with a link to sell e-books - basically all books that Amazon will never buy. . @Horse_ebooks There are currently over 75,000 followers. Randomly generated meaningless short sentences are a means of preventing Twitter from monitoring junk accounts, and each one now attracts many human account responses.
The New York Times senior software architect Jacob Harris was also attracted to @Horse_ebooks, who used his spare time to create a more readable robot account @nytimes_ebooks. Harris explained the implementation on his blog:
Grab the RSS feed of the New York Times website;
Automatically crawl the full text of the article through the code (New York Times RSS feed only outputs a summary);
Excerpts from the original words of double-quoted characters in the report, these contents are generally more exciting;
Enter these words into Markov Chainer and break the sentences into phrases;
Adjust the text to match the style of @horse_ebooks - replace the punctuation with spaces, and truncate the last word if there is a preposition;
Of course, in the end, you should add a short link to let the reader directly see the source of the link is the New York Times.
The end result is very good, and some sentences have been reorganized and even conform to the original intent of the article. For example, the article "winning hearts and not wearing body armor" points to the naval division after entering Iraq in 2004. In the case, many Marines thought it was a friendly military operation. The phrase "Winning hearts and minds" can be traced back to the Civil War, which was very common from the beginning of the Vietnam War.
Some are more confusing, such as "Growth isn t the core value holding the strategy it", which is the law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf filed for bankruptcy protection.
But to be honest, even if I know that the pushes made by @nytimes_ebooks are randomly picked up, I still want to go in and see what the article is saying. It seems that you have to consider @ifanr_ebooks.
