Content is great! We’ve trained robots to make/find some. They’re ok at it.
The robots are a set of twitter bots that regularly tweet out content from datasets (or generate their own).
Bots like these are a low maintenance way of drawing attention to previously created content (when you have a lot of it).
Follow @InklebyRobots for the collection. The code is available from github.
