Retjilp: A Native Auto-Retweet Bot

Since I couldn’t find a bot that automatically retweets statuses using the native Twitter Retweet API (all I found was RSS pipes that prefixed messages with “RT”), I created one myself. Retjilp is a (Ruby) script that logs into Twitter, scans the statuses of the contacts you are following, and retweets the statuses matching specified words. The Swift Twitter feed shows the script in action, retweeting all Swift and XMPP related tags from the Swift developers.

You can get Retjilp by installing the Retjilp Gem:

gem install retjilp

Or, you can get the source code from the Git repository.
