Recom.me
This is a simple Twitter bot with memory. It connects Twitter’s interface with The Echo Nest’s Recommend API to yield quick, compelling, and easy-to-use artist recommendations. The recom.me website acts as an outboard "memory" for the bot.
To begin, visit Twitter (join up, if necessary), and send a message to the user:
Soon after, it should reply with a few recommendations and a link. You can follow the link to this site for more details on your request, following links to the bands elsewhere on the net, or message "more" for a further list of recommendations.
If you have protected updates, you need to follow the user recomme, and wait for it to follow you back. Direct messages to (and from) recomme are also possible once you mutually follow recomme.
The site makes no pretenses towards privacy. Until Twitter offers OAuth support, don’t even expect it to. Instead, pretend the openness creates a loose social network as an emergent property.
