I’ve done some searches for information about running a Ruby twitter  
bot and found a few packages & posts, but nothing that quite seems to  
match what I want, which is a twitter bot running within Rails. I.e.,  
I want simple access to all my models & data. I could hack something  
up using script/runner, or rufus-scheduler, but it just seems like  
something where someone else would have already done it and have a  
plugin, or at least some instructions available.

Any pointers?
