Writing twitterbots to spam people? Man, I wouldn't have just yelled at you in an interview. I would have engaged in physical violence. Twitter spammers are right down there with Nigerian 419 scammers in my book. I'm disappointed to hear that YC is funding one of them.

Is it any worse than forcing/requiring people to manually tweet in order to get/win something?

I find both approaches distasteful.

Glad we have our priorities straight about behavior and what is and isn't right.
