Twitterbot is the result of a night-and-half-a-day of hacking. It’s a Plurk bot that integrates your Twitter stream into your Plurk timeline, creating plurks for each tweet, and (attempting to) merge Twitter conversations into a single Plurk thread. It’ll also forward any response you make in these threads back to Twitter.
You can use Twitterbot by visiting its Plurk profile and adding it as a friend (not by being its fan). Within a couple of minutes it will request your Twitter name and password. Once these are provided, it will poll your Twitter account periodically for tweets to plurk.
You can shut it off by de-friending it, which will cause it to destroy all data it holds on you within a couple of minutes.
If you wish to use this, however, a few words of advice:
- You will, for all intents and purposes, be following everyone you follow on Twitter on Plurk. If you have thousands (or even a few hundred) of people you follow, you may find it difficult/impossible to keep your Plurk timeline reasonable. Twitterbot is not very helpful in this case.
- Capacity is limited. No idea how limited, but it’s limited, and further access will be forbidden once the limit is reached until it can be raised.
- There is a delay of up to two minutes before it notices you sending a plurk or friend request, and up to five minutes between receiving new tweets from Twitter.
