Most Popular Twitter Bots

I got sent a link (by @botwikidotorg) to this post, and I thought it was interesting enough to share.

There’s a lot of fun bots on twitter, some of which I’ve talked about here. But I didn’t have a good sense of what the upper limit was for a bot’s follower count. (Turns out it can be 1.5 million people, though most are under 400,000. Still more popular than me.) Most reach for least posts goes to @year_progress, which informs me that the year is at ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░ 84%.

For my current students, note that the blogpost is using Glitch to generate the interactive charts that are embedded in the post.
