 3A twitter flock botnet with bots replying tweets with text generated by Markov chains

 5#### generating text with Markov chains
 6Markov chain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain
 7
 8The algorithm calculates the probabilities of Markov chains, analyzing a considerable amount of text, for the examples, I've done it with the book "The Critique of Pure Reason", by Immanuel Kant (http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/4280/pg4280.txt).

10### Replying tweets with Markov chains
11When the botnet is up working, the bots start streaming all the twitter new tweets containing the configured keywords. Each bot takes a tweet, analyzes the containing words, and generates a reply using the Markov chains previously calculated, and posts the tweet as reply.
12
13In the following examples, the bots ("andreimarkov", "dodecahedron", "projectNSA") are replying some people.
