Assignment 6 TwitterBot - idea development

Idea 1 - @IfYouAreInChina

Obviously, everyone know that  the Internet network is strongly restricted by Chinese government. @IfYouAreInChina is a bot, which simulates the circumstance of Internet server, people are only allowed to read part of the tweet. Random selected words will be transformed as gibberish, so people have to interpret the message by themselves while the meaning might be different from the original. 

1) Search the headline from category "political" of Google.news 
2) Choose and replace several words randomly
3) Tweet the transformed headline on Twitter 

Idea 2 - @FakeLuckyNumber

Nowadays, people like playing with lucky likes Monopoly, Bingo, Mark Six and betting on horses. No matter the game involve real money or not, the game seems giving a kind of satisfaction and excitement to the player. So @FakeLuckyNumber imitates a predictor, it simulates the format of Mark Six, the different is this bot will announce 7 number everyday instead of triple a week, so people might reference and compare the result from this predictive. No doubt that @FakeLuckyNumber must not give an exact result, but I guess some result would be similar to the real one, this bot kinda similar a game machine.

Idea 3 - @EmotionOfEmoji

People like using emoji instead type sometime when they are chatting on Facebook and whatsapp. It is quite funny that sometime you have no idea what to type, you can just use the emoji likes (^,^) . When the situation becomes more exaggerated, some people use all emoji to say something. don't know whether is it work or not. @ChattingWithEmoji can generate tweet based on the variety of tweet, however this machine don't know type, it will only response other tweet by using emoji. It is not total random, each emoji is associated with specific characteristics of word 
, for example, (:-D) represented for the word starts from "st". 

Idea 4 - @Right&Wrong

Inspired by @forgetmebot, it substitutes the phase "In case you missed it" with "never forget". Although the rule of substitution system is simple, the meaning of whole sentence is transformed. Therefore, I consider to play with the opposite, retweet the similar tweet with a opposite word.
