I was looking for examples on Pinterest bots and I came across your example for Twitter. My main focus would be to automate a lot of tasks for several social websites built inside one single application. For example, following, liking, tweeting/pinning/sharing in order to get REAL followers. I do not mean to spam but to stop spending hours and hours doing that instead of focusing on more creative tasks.

I have never used nodejs (although I heard a lot about it) but it seems that things can be set pretty fast. I would need more features but it seems easy to build the twit interface. But, as you said, this would be the simplest one so there are surely more complete interfaces.

Is it fast to setup the server?

How do I know if I am being sold an advertising service which is using a bot to falsely generate followers on twitter?
