It is incredibly easy to set up a bot in twitter. (Slightly hard since the API v1.1, but still easy.) If an account is attached to a bot, there should be a small icon in all it's tweet to indicate that.

How would you enforce that? Genuine question. Is there a reliable-enough-to-be-useful way to distinguish between types of API client?
