didyouseethis -- Retweet anything with certain keywords

=======================================================

This service will allow you to run a Twitter bot that retweets

anything matching its criteria. One way of using it would be to have a

protected account retweet things you might be interested in, and then

letting select people follow that protected account.

To install, you'll need a working Go setup. Then run:

    go get github.com/tv42/didyouseethis/cmd/didyouseethis-save

    go get github.com/tv42/didyouseethis/cmd/didyouseethis-retweet

And now your GOPATH's bin directory should have the commands.

To use, you'll need to register a Twitter app, and put its key in a

YAML config file, along with the keywords you want to track:

    oauth:

      key: KEY_GOES_HERE

      secret: SECRET_GOES_HERE

    keywords:

    - orange juice

    - milk

For keywords, each word in a single line has to match; any item

matching means tweet is included.

Test them out by running:

    mkdir state

    didyouseethis-save MY_CONF_FILE.yaml state &

    didyouseethis-retweet MY_CONF_FILE.yaml state

On the first run, you will be asked to authorize the app; once the

authorization is ok, the commands will run in batch mode.

The above commands will exit on errors, and expect to be run under a

daemon supervisor that restarts them.

You are responsible for following Twitter's policies; there are plenty

of details where didyouseethis does not currently enforce correct

behavior.

The code is still uglier than it should be, but hey, it works!
