MOMBOT
There was a brief time when Twitter bots could be used for good. A perfect example was our Old Spice MomBot: M.A.R.I.A.N.N.E.7000. It stood for Motherly Automatic Robotical Internet Assurance Nonstop Nurturing Engine and it was designed to give the internet another mother to love — and to be loved by — on Mother’s Day.
The bot scrubbed tweets @M.A.R.I.A.N.N.E.7000 for keywords from one of 43 subjects (ranging from school work & bullying, relationship & love, politics, travel, dads, jokes and everything in between) and would reply from a bank of categorically-appropriate responses.
It was nonsense, for sure, bit it gave the internet an extra mother for a week, which is something everybody could benefit from.
