'Daily ConceptNet' Twitter feed

[Ian Ozsvald]

In an effort to remind myself to login to ConceptNet more frequently
and vote I've setup a once-a-day Twitter feed:
http://twitter.com/conceptnetdaily

It gets a random assertion every day and then posts it and a link to
Twitter, details here:

Hoping it is of use to a few of you too,
Ian.

Hi Ian,

Nice work! That will help bring the project to new people's
attention, and I love the idea of software tweeting.

Dustin

Hi Dustin, thanks :-)

Having written the bot I have a request (obviously it isn't urgent, it
might just be nice).

1) I see that there's a 'random statement' link at the website
(http://openmind.media.mit.edu/en/statement/random/) but I didn't see
a 'random assertion/statement' query in the web-api (did I miss it?).
If there was one then I wouldn't have to try a few random assertion
ids (my current method) before hitting one that exists. It isn't
clear if such a feature would be useful to anyone else of course...

2) A 'recent random assertion' web call would be even nicer. That way
I could expose recently added statements (e.g. one added in the last
month). Currently I expose any assertion - it might have lots of
votes or none at all. I figure the bot is more useful if it brings
attention to the new assertions (probably those with just 1 vote).

With luck in the new year I'll introduce ConceptNet to a bunch of
general programmer/hacker types here in Brighton (UK) at my £5 App
event (http://fivepoundapp.com/), I want to get some of the locals
thinking about AI and integrating it into general apps. We have a
strong web-dev/Flash/design/UX scene but almost no AI, hopefully I'll
start to change that.

Cheers!
Ian.
