| # Towards a Taxonomy of Twitter Bots | |
| ## Intro | |
| - towards a definition - autonomous non-human agents on Twitter | |
| - critical thinking - MECE, rabbit rule, holding hands | |
| - patterns of behaviour, rather than content | |
| - Twitter largely a textual medium | |
| - crossover between two broadest categories (automated/event-driven), but largely one or the other (maybe?) | |
| - some bots will exhibit both behaviours (active/reactive), but tend to favour one (most commonly, tweeters will also exhibit conversationalist behaviours) |
