Indeed, if you figure someone can send a customized DM once per 15 seconds, and an hour at Turk costs you $0.05/hour, you can consume 250 DM's/day in 62.5 minutes - you're talking less than $0.10/day to have someone send DM's on Twitter for you, personalized by a human ...
If a script off rent-a-coder costs you $100 ... that's 1,000 days worth of Turk-time ... so using a script only breaks even after 2.7 years of use. LOL. On 2/12/11 3:38 PM, M.
