#2As someone who loves Twitter gimmick accounts, I would love to hear some strategies for keeping them in the clear. Cute project!

#3Awesome project! Any chance you'd be interesting in publishing the code for the bot so we could make variations of happybots to spread the <3 and not-so-subtly protest the suspension of said happybots?

(also linked from the article text.)
I'm fine with other people making lots of happybots. I just hope no one would adapt the code to, say, harass or bully people who are already feeling shitty.

#6I love this idea.
Maybe the way around Twitter's bot policies is to use the bot as a coordination device rather than an auto-responder. How about @ing or DMing FeelBetterBot followers that person X could use a hug or helpful message?

#7awesome project! :) you are a good human being!
Maybe a solution to your banning problem could be to create a federated "FeelBetter" group of people who would be willing to automatically grant a few of their tweets. So you build an app that posts a FeelBetter message as one of the member of the group, in rotation. Kind of Seti@Home but for twitter tweets. The tweet would relate to the whole group something like: "@Recipient hug from me and the @FeelBetterBot community"

I like this as a concept. The tricky part is now there are two audiences that the system has to avoid alienating -- it has to seem friendly and not creepy to the recipient, and it has to be harmless and non-embarrassing from the perspective of the 'sender'.

Well, I imagine it's some kind of app that you allow to post on your behalf. When you allow it, you know what it will post. If you really want to go the extra mile you could ask each new member to tick off which messages they don't feel comfortable sending out before authorizing the app. But I think that is unnecessary or release 2.0
Moreover if you relate back to the group, the person can see the larger scope and, maybe, join on the effort.
I'd be more concerned that you get hacked like buffer did a few days ago and you start sending bad tweets as the members :) but besides that I'd be willing to "donate" a few of my tweets to this do-good project

Here, maybe this can give some inspiration (not a bot, but still the best thing I saw all day)
