Get Indian cricket score updates on Google talk/Twitter
Written by Quakeboy on Saturday, April 05, 2008
Today I created my first, fastest developed useful (PHP) application - a twitter bot for tweeting Indian Cricket scores every 5 minutes. I know this is not the only bot available, but all the bots which I got by searching were down.
Okay now, don't get furious @ me if you don't understand anything in this above sentence. It is going to be just a bunch of jargons for many. Read more for the actual article..
- People who twitter, just follow IndiaCricket on Twitter.
- People who don't use twitter follow the steps below to get score updates for every 5 minutes on your Google Talk.
- Login to Google talk
- Add twitter@twitter.com as friend.
- Once it is added, send the following messages without the quotes
- 'track'
- 'follow IndiaCricket'
- Congratulations, now you get cricket scores every 5 minutes.
P.S. If you need the full detailed score card with ball to ball description, just click the link at the end of each message you receive.
Please do leave your comments and let me know if this is useful or totally useless.
Please recommend Techtola to your friends if you like the articles you receive here.
If you have more ideas for various twitter robots / Google talk alerts, please send them to me. I will develop them in my free time.
Update:- I have fixed a bug. Now no more duplicate score tweets.
