Making nonsense out of your carefully crafted tweets. 

Google app engine app that controls a twitter bot that uses markov chains to produce interesting tweets based on it's followers tweets and the twitterers that mention it. When a user tweets a mention of the bot it will respond with a "markovation" of the last 800 tweets by that user (that don't contain links or mentions of other users).  It will also follow that user.  Every two hours it will tweet a markovation of the latest 800 tweets from all of the users it follows.

Live markovator bot is running here: http://twitter.com/markovator

Use like a regular appengine project but make sure to set the screen_name, token and consumer settings in the twitter_settings.py.  The screen name should be the username of the twitter account that the bot is hosted on. Consumer should be the key and secret of a twitter app that you have registered and the token should be the key and secret of the twitter account for that app. See https://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_single_token for info on getting a single access token and avoiding the oauth flow.
