The Etic Lab Twitter Toolkit facilitates automated direct messaging, favourites and retweeting, replies, provides recommended follows and reading materials and much, much more! An invaluable tool for both researchers and businesses.
We’ll start with a brief overview of the Toolkit and then show you how to access free of charge for 30 days.
Toolkit Overview
Athens
Athens sends a direct message to users who follow you on Twitter and can automatically unfollow users who unfollow you.
Berlin
Berlin automatically retweets and favourites tweets posted by a given Twitter user.
Copenhagen
Copenhagen retweets and favourites tweets containing a given hashtag or search term.
Dublin
Dublin reads RSS or Atom feeds. To identify the feed, search for “RSS” or “atom” on the page you would like to follow or try, e.g. http://example.com/feed and paste the feed URL into a source field.
Edinburgh
Edinburgh responds to twitter replies with a couple of relevant sentences from a source URL which has been mentioned in the twitter thread.
Frankfurt
Frankfurt will monitor the given source URLs for articles or content containing the given search terms. It will then create a “recommended reading” Medium blog post with a summary of the most relevant articles and links to the source.
Geneva
Geneva will publicise the blog posts created by Frankfurt on twitter. If Frankfurt is not active, Geneva will do nothing.
Helsinki
Helsinki will monitor the given source URLs for articles or content containing the given search terms, and create a short Medium blog post summarising each article it finds with a link to the original source.
Istanbul
Istanbul will provide the blog posts created by Frankfurt and Helsinki with a stock photo if it is enabled.
