There was a time where there were proper checks & balances. Where did it all go wrong, #NSA? We want #transparency: http://t.co/pAEKPcZoyQ

#NSA has been illegally copying all internal #Google & #Yahoo! traffic, by @nelson: http://t.co/nD1Hzm3nXy. I’m close to crying.

@edsu I don’t need them in my parser: https://t.co/PIKZDaMepr. You may be extracting more stuff than I do, though…

via Echofon

@edsu BTW, when you instantiate the irc object, pass stripColors: true. Saves you some ugly parsing :-) https://t.co/6Tb89qX0Fe

via Echofon

@edsu Yes, but had rolled my own, doing essentially the same w/ some small differences (e.g., I retrieve all lang versions of articles).

via Echofon in reply to edsu

@edsu Feel free to use the API (either my code on GH, or the deployed instance wikipedia-edits.herokuapp.com/sse) to build awesomeR stuff on top of it.

via Echofon in reply to edsu

@edsu SSE is a pure _pleasure_ to work w/ on the client-side: named & generic events, streaming… It’s not widely known, so evangelizing it.

@lbenedix Open the app. Then in the console paste the code that I’ve just sent to you. You can look at the bots via Object.keys(b). Works?

@lbenedix Ah, I see. No, they are not: https://t.co/5DPR9CjH4q. In “Anons vs. Logged-Ins” I exclusively look at humans.

via Echofon

@lbenedix Not sure I understand, I already monitor Bots vs. Wikipedians: # of bots compared to # of humans on both Wikipedia & Wikidata.

@ReaderMeter I do use bot flags _and_ an additional heuristic: _any_ of the words of the bot name end or start w/ “bot”. Captures some more…

via Echofon in reply to ReaderMeter

@ReaderMeter The idea is to CSS-style the sliders like balances. It’s a v0.0.1 sample app, more interesting is the SSE API for future work.

via Echofon in reply to ReaderMeter

@dvanliere @nicolastorzec Happy to read that. My offer for help stands. Thanks for the friendly comment on my Talk page :-)
