twitter bots - where are you ?

Information about twitter-bots ? Interested to find information about twitter feeds that are partially or completely created by machine

Interested in finding lists/portals of twitter feeds which are automated ... for instance I believe there's a tweeter feed that tells you when trains in San Francisco are going to be running late and another that tells you when Tower Bridge in London is going to be raised. Other examples like that are what I'm after (or good ways to find them). Thanks.

Best answer: Perhaps the bot page from the Twitter Fan Wiki will be of interest to you:

Also on that wiki, not to be missed: twitter feeds of non-Human, non-individuals.

A few I didn't see in either of those lists are this feed of US Supreme Court decisions, this feed of daily national debt updates, this feed from the US House of Representatives floor, this one from the Senate floor, and this DC weather feed that updates daily an hour before sunrise.
