Weavrs

As preparation for the start of the final brief next week, we were set the task of setting up a Weavr.
A Weavr is an automated bot that you create and can link to twitter, which then sends tweets related to a list of interests and likes that you enter when setting it up.
I decided to create a 50 year old divorcee called Barbara Taylor who loved to go out, dance and just have fun. I enjoyed setting it up as when you were entering details about its life you got really into it and got into their mindset. 
I then linked mine to a twitter, here is the link: https://twitter.com/#!/BabzyTT
The whole experience of setting up a weavr was very unusual as real people followed her thinking she was also a real person and it made me realise just how companies can advertise extensively using automated bots like these.
