A Twitter Bot in One Line of Code

if the only qualifier for "one line" is that its a big chunk of code with no line breaks, i think i could do more than just a twitter bot on one line.

oblig. challenge: twitter bot in 140 chars...<p>BTW: great twitter API, and demo of bash as a JSON webservice server implementation language. It repays careful study. Also "bash" has got to be the best name for a hacker's language.

Give me a break. Once you put ';' it cannot be consider as one line, otherwise, minified-jQuery is also a one line library.<p><a href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js" rel="nofollow">http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.j...</a>

Obligatory perl example, pretty messy:<p>U="onelinebot:one.onelinebot";curl -d 'track=obama' <a href="http://stream.twitter.com/track.json" rel="nofollow">http://stream.twitter.com/track.json</a> -u$U|perl -ne'/\"screen_name\":\"([^"]+)\"/&#38;&#38;`curl -d "" <a href="http://twitter.com/friendships/create/$1.json?follow=true" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/friendships/create/$1.json?follow=true</a> -u$U`'

"one line" -- the most meaningless software metric to date.
