Create Your Own Twitter Bot Using Code From Nieman Journalism Lab

Digital DIY is all the rage, evidenced by everything from craft bloggers’ crazy-popular Pinterest boards to the raging rise in interest for CodeAcademy – not to mention the growth in awareness of the potential in 3D printing.

Now Nieman Journalism Lab is enabling you to channel your DIY skills with regard to Twitter. The lab has released OpenFuego, an open-source version of Fuego, its popular Twitter robot. So now you can create your own.

Andrew Phelps, formerly of Nieman Lab, now at the New York Times, wrote Fuego’s backend code.
