Now I'm just waiting for someone to make a Twitter bot that randomly samples tweets and responds to them with this...

I tried to do this last year, but every single twss-related handle was taken. Don't believe me, look for yourself. I can't wait for the day when Twitter starts reclaiming unusued/squatted names (and have a pay for service that let's you claim it for life.)
There's this, too.

It randomly samples tweets for training, but it doesn't write back automatically. If you find one you like on the site, though, you can tweet it.

Would interest me much more if you open sourced it, are you already decided on not doing so?

edit: I see you do actually have it at https://github.com/mattspitz/yepthatswhatshesaid - is it up to date? Thanks for sharing!
