Nokia Cocks
Nokia Cocks is an automated Twitter bot that periodically tweets absurd text-based penises, reminiscent of early mobile phone text messages and the glory days of the Nokia 3210.
Social Media has a problem with bots. They can influence mass media, change the political landscape and incite violence. After my own experiences of hostile bots on Twitter, I planned on creating something of a counter-bot, whose sole purpose was for simple puerile humour. I felt like this would be a perfect opportunity to develop my previously parked idea of Nokia Cocks into something autonomous.
This is a very straightforward project and a little bit of a test into automation and post-creation independence. I look forward to seeing what this bot will produce over the next few years.
